Our many galleries host openings and exhibitions, often highlighting regional artists and craftspeople. Nationally-renowned artists have studios here or are featured in-residence. Others teach classes or demonstrate their craft, thus inspiring others.
The Under the Beams Concert Series brings noted musicians and performers to the stage, as does summer’s New Harmony Theatre. 2012 also marks the inaugural season for the New Harmony Music Festival and School. They are only a few of the outstanding lively arts programs you’ll find in our town.
And you’ll find special events too throughout the year. “The First Brush of Spring” plein air exhibition celebrates the colors and freshness of the new season. And several venues regularly host concerts, talks and lectures that entertain, enlighten and spark discussion...continuing New Harmony's reputation as "Athens on the Wabash."
The New Harmony Business Association is also proud to host annually “Arts in Harmony” - one of the largest exhibitions of artists in the Tri-State. Dozens of regional and national artists both show and sell their work. You'll discover a wealth of arts and crafts, from paintings, hand-blown glass, sculpture, and jewelry to ceramics, basketry, ironwork, woodwork, and furnishings. Artists are selected based on originality, creativity and craftsmanship; commercial molds, kits and commercially fabricated forms are not permitted in the show. All of the work is handmade and all of the artists are present to talk about their artwork or demonstrate their skills.
Lastly, we invite you to experience the artistry of New Harmony itself - our sculptures, fountains, architectural styles and beautiful gardens and public spaces as well as the uniquely creative talents of our residents!
Welcome to Arts in New Harmony!
