Art on the River

The Creative Arts Center of Wells County is situated on the banks of the Wabash River inside the beautiful
Arts & Commerce Center.


Located on the west end of the scenic River Greenway Trail, visitors can stroll the paved walk along the river or cross over on the pedestrian bridge -- a replica of a vintage iron railroad bridge.

The tables and benches on the Center Patio create an excellent spot on a sunny day
for painting and sketching plein air, or for simply enjoying a good book.

Directly across the river,
visitors will find Kehoe Park,
the modern outside amphitheater
where the Center hosts concerts and special events throughout
the summer months.

The Wells County Arts, Commerce & Visitors Centre is available to rent for events. Visit here for more information.
