The Factory Arts District is more than just a venue—it’s a piece of Indianapolis history reborn. Located in the massive former Schwitzer Corporation factory on Indy’s near eastside, this space is the “real deal.” While others try to replicate an industrial look, this complex stays true to its gritty, entrepreneurial roots, blending raw architectural details with a high-end, modern spirit. It is the perfect backdrop for a night built on innovation and imagination.
Your BASH ticket is an all-access pass to the evening’s festivities. Every guest will enjoy a curated selection of savory bites and sweet treats (including signature desserts from JEL’s culinary students!) along with a variety of beverage options and full access to all the performances and entertainment we have planned.
BASH is a 21+ event.
The BASH’26 dress code is Artful Ensemble: Come inspired by your favorite artwork or artist!
