BUTTER, an annual art fair that highlights the work of Black artists, celebrates its five year anniversary Labor Day weekend.

Black artists will debut their work in Indianapolis at the 4th annual BUTTER: A Fine Art Fair.

As the community comes together to celebrate Black History Month, the Recorder is shedding a light on a few of the Black visual artists who paved the way for events like Meet the Artists, Art & Soul and BUTTER.

BUTTER at Indy’s Home Court will feature sports-related photographs, paintings and live performances from 30 local Black artists.

The cultural development group GANGGANG, which launched the event in 2021, expects more than 8,000 people to attend this year’s Butter. The group's goal is to sell or loan all of the artwork and give all of the proceeds back to the artists.
