About

Goal of the Event

Our goal is to raise money to support the music and art departments at Broad Ripple Magnet School for the Arts and Humanities and for Knollfest to be recognized not only as a fundraiser for Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS), but also as a venue where people can discover great bands with a professional sound and who are active in their communities. In 2008, the inaugural year of the festival, we had approximately 400 people attend the event. The attendees were comprised of Butler and surrounding area students, Butler Tarkington and Broad Ripple community members, active festival goers, and music and art lovers from mostly the Indianapolis area. In 2009, attendance rose to around 600 people and we expect attendance to rise even more in 2010. We are willing to work with your company to develop a sponsorship package which suits your budget and marketing needs.

What is Knollfest all about?

Knollfest is all about fostering arts in the community through music and education. Proceeds from the festival are donated to art programs in IPS. We want to continue to make our community a cultural leader in the Midwest and showing enthusiasm and support for the arts is a perfect way to do it. We also showcase and support local artists, bands and students who are socially conscious of their communities.

Who does Knollfest benefit?

Our beneficiary this year is Broad Ripple Magnet School for the Arts and Humanities and our goal is to be able to donate to the art and music programs at the school and in the process for Knollfest to be recognized as a venue where people can discover great bands with a professional sound who care about and are active in their communities.
