About

Creative Grounds Fine Arts Academy is a youth-focused performing arts institution in Indianapolis that provides instruction and performance opportunities in dance, music, theater, and other creative disciplines at the Ransburg Auditorium. For families with artistically inclined children, Creative Grounds offers both the chance to enroll in ongoing classes and the opportunity to attend student performances and recitals that showcase the work of young artists in a real auditorium setting. Attending a live performance at Creative Grounds is a unique family experience — watching children and teens perform with genuine skill and artistry in an intimate venue creates an atmosphere that is both inspiring and moving.

The academy's commitment to youth arts education makes it a significant community resource, providing a nurturing environment where children can develop discipline, creativity, and confidence through the performing arts. For families whose children are not yet enrolled, attending a public performance or recital is a wonderful introduction to the academy and to live performing arts generally. Many children who attend their first live performance at Creative Grounds leave inspired to begin dancing, singing, or acting themselves.

The Ransburg Auditorium provides a proper performance environment that gives student artists the experience of performing on a real stage with proper lighting and sound — an invaluable educational experience.
