OUR NEXT IAVM IS THIS SATURDAY!

Come and see why Indianapolis Monthly has called the Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace an "Indy Must-Do".  This month's show will be big. We'll have many vendors who are new to the market. The weather will be beautiful so get out of the house and have so fun. Overflow parking will be available at St. Peter's church (on the northeast side of the traffic circle) with a shuttle bus running throughout the show.  Be sure to check us out on Facebook and visit our website WWW.IAVMINDY.com

Come out next Saturday- Affair Shake will be there!

Joining us next Saturday in Carmel will once again be Kelly from Affair Shake.  Real Estate maven by day, mid-mod hunter at night, her stylish offerings can spice up your home or office.

Hope to see all of you next Saturday from 9-5 at the Fountains in Carmel, 502 E Carmel Drive for Indy's favorite day of vintage awesomeness.

NEXT INDIE ARTS & VINTAGE MARKETPLACE, MARCH 8TH

Save the date everyone. The next Indie Arts &Vintage Marketplace will be March 8th at the Fountains in Carmel from 9am-5pm. 
Yes, we know. We're usually the first Saturday of the month, however, because of scheduling constraints, we've had to think outside the box, and as you've seen, we're good at that.
And, of course, we have to ask.  Have you seen the February edition of Indianapolis Monthly? If not, grab one before they're gone because they've featured the IAVM on their "Indy Must-Do List". More on this to follow.

Special opportunity this Saturday!

Collectors, designers, rehabbers and fans of Art Deco architecture and Indianapolis automotive history will race to the Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace this Saturday!

Dan Ripley’s Antique Helper announces a highlight sale to take place at the October 5^th Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace.  Art and architectural elements from an important 1930s Art Deco mansion built by Louis Schwitzer, prominent businessman, engineer, philanthropist and decorated figure in Indianapolis Motor Sports history, will be on sale.  The home was designed by local architect Edwin Kopf, famous for designing the marquee of the Vogue Theatre. Schwitzer's own design and engineering abilities were on display in nearly every aspect of the massive home.

Louis Schwitzer was a legendary figure in the history of auto racing as well as automotive design and engineering.  In addition to winning the first automobile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, he also pioneered advances that are the cornerstone components of automobiles today (6 cylinder engine, turbo-charger).  In honor of Schwitzer’s legacy, the Society of Professional Engineers presents an individual or group involved with the Indianapolis 500 with the annual Louis Schwitzer Award for Engineering Excellence.

Earlier this year the home was meticulously dismantled and important art installations, features and elements were salvaged for repurposing and museum display.  Most of these items will be offered for sale on October 5^th at the last outdoor Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace. Fireplace mantels, aluminum door hardware, machine age lighting, designer plumbing fixtures, custom cabinetry, exotic limestone tiles, rare vitrolite panels, streamline railings, slab and panel doors, mirrored valances, chrome curtain rods, steel cased doors and windows, custom copper scuppers and guttering, and an amazing array of architectural design will be available for immediate sale.

The Schwitzer name created hundreds of comments on Facebook earlier this year when Indiana Landmarks posted information about the architectural salvage project.  Followers have been waiting for this opportunity to acquire rare elements from an historic local mansion.

In addition to the special Schwitzer event, join over 80 amazing vendors of everything vintage, antique, artisanal, re & up-cycled for a great day of shopping.  Enjoy food trucks, microbrews and the sounds of DJ Ryan Stroble in an event that has become the go-to source for adding unique items from the past to contemporary lifestyle.  The Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace is held at Glendale Town Centre- 62^nd & Keystone- behind Lowes Home Improvement.  Show hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For information, please contact jonjindpls@aol.com.

WARMfest is coming Labor Day weekend! Come out and party in the park!

You know how we all tidy up our house before company arrives? That's what Dan and Lisa Ripley are doing to Broad Ripple Park...along with all the volunteers they can recruit. This week they cleared the overgrown banks of the White River so we'd all have a great view of the water during WARMfest. 

Make sure to visit WARMFEST.ORG for details about all the great musicians who'll be performing on six stages throughout the park from Aug 31st-Sept.2nd. The proceeds from WARMfest go to the Carl G. Fisher Society, a nonprofit whose mission is the revitalization of the Waterfront in Broad Ripple.

And don't miss the great shopping at the Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace. We'll be set up in the park in tents under the shade trees. Amazing shopping, nationally renowned musicians and of course, plenty of great food.

You won't want to miss a minute!

WELCOME LITTLE PHILLY'S ITALIAN ICE

What more could we have asked for at last Saturday's IAVM?

We had great weather, a record crowd and

 Italian Ice from Little Philly's!

Owners, Robin and Mike, served up the perfect, refreshing and crowd pleasing treat in lemon, mango, cherry and lots of other delicious flavors from their old fashioned cart. And not only is it irresistible, its cholesterol-free and has no high fructose corn syrup. Yummy! I love a guilt free treat.

SEE YOU TOMORROW

Wear your walkin' boots and plan to stay for lunch. Our vendors are ready to roll out truck-loads full of the coolest finds in town and our food trucks...well, all we can say is "come hungry" and enjoy.
