FACILITY RENTALS

Madam C.J. Walker built a storied beauty empire in the early 1900s developing and marketing hair care and beauty products to women of color. Not a Hoosier by birth, she moved her company to Indianapolis in 1910 and left her mark on “The Avenue” where the Madame C.J. Walker Building became a national, state and local landmark institution. Today the facility is available for rentals to meet your event needs.

Madame Walker Theatre

From the box office to the balcony, the Madame Walker Theatre is the quintessential showplace—an elegant, yet vibrant reminder of an era when theatres were as much a spectacle as the shows themselves. Our historic theatre can be the location for your special event.

Regal design, dramatic detail, plush seating and sculptured splendor make the theatre a truly majestic place. The Madame Walker Theatre contains one of the few remaining African Art Deco motifs in the country. The interior ornamentation includes 150 original colors hand-applied during restoration, sphinx statuary, cubist-inspired African masks, 20-foot spears and brass embellishments.

The Madame Walker Theatre, where painstaking restoration and preservation have returned the building to its original elegance, is the cornerstone of the building. It is perfect for pageants, musicals, concerts, lecturers, auditions and rehearsals, motion picture and video screenings, ceremonial awards presentations and other events that require elegant staging.
