      Art Walk at The Alexander

      Daily 5:30 PM

      Art isn't decoration here. It's the point.

      Every day, our team leads a guided walk through The Alexander's collection — over $7 million of work assembled with one criterion: it belongs to Indianapolis. We'll tell you who made the pieces, why they're here, and how Alexander Ralston's 1821 grid still shapes the way you move through this building.

      Come for the names on the plaques. Leave noticing the sight lines.

      Daily. Meet in the lobby. Free for hotel guests — no reservation needed.
