    My review is based upon the Art Park and mural on the outside of the building…read more The Arts Park is a beautiful addition to the Robert Indiana Arts and Culture District of New Castle. The park has numerous pathways that wind between plantings, gardens, pine trees, a gazebo, and a koi pond. There is even a miniature recreation of native son Robert Indiana's "LOVE" sculpture near the south entrance to the park. There is a huge pavilion behind the Art Center that can hold large events under the single roof. A parking lot is conveniently located on the south side of the park. On the south wall of the Art Center, a tribute mural to Robert Indiana was created by artists Steve Weidert and Ed Tarantino in 2017 with images of Indiana at different times in his life. I would have liked to seen a plaque highlighting what some of the other images in the mural represent. And though the grounds are laid out nicely, they could use a bit of touch up/grooming as some of the plantings have become overgrown. Review #1418

    This is a real gem that seems to remain undiscovered by most of the population of Henry Country. I…read morestopped in a while back and was greeted by a wonderful curator who was informative and truly concerned with spreading the word about the Art Center. I planned to attend one of the monthly openings but was out of town and hope to do so soon. The prices for art and especially prints were reasonable as you would expect in a small town, but the quality of the work is world class in many instances. I met one artist, Kris Livesley, while we visited and was impressed by his eye and vision. I look forward to meeting the other local artists and suggest to anyone residing in, or visiting New Castle so stop in for a visit. The gallery is free, I'm not sure if there's a charge for special events so I'd recommend calling first on those nights. I walked through the outdoor arts garden and was very excited to see how well thought out the design was, something New Castle really was lacking, tho I rarely see anyone actually using the park or "spanning time" there. Their calendar shows events such as car shows and musical stages, so I will stop back for those when the weather warms up again. I think the Art Center best serves New Castle as an introduction to the arts for the locals who may not have the opportunity as readily as those in larger cities or who travel often. A great and unexpected find!

    I tried to book a private event for my son's birthday - and we wanted the extra hour to add to the…read morepackage. First of all, we had a ton of trouble getting ahold of someone to get the additional hour as the website booking didn't offer it. Then, since a party booked after our slot, we couldn't get an additional hour. I tried compromising by still paying for the private party addition but starting while the place was still open, as they have events during open hours too. They were unwilling to compromise that and let us pay for the additional time. They then suggested we have the event on a Wednesday, as if we could really host an event or expect anyone to come as people have jobs! I just think it's bad business to offer the additional hour and then not be willing to work with someone to make it happen. They acted like I would be cutting into someone else's time, but no one had booked any earlier slots, so we wouldn't have been. They said the parties are stacked too close on all days but Wednesdays. So, if you plan to have a party on any day but Wednesday, don't expect to get the additional hour even if you get the slots first!

    Our friends had a great time. A small group of of our friends had an awesome time and parents…read moreloved that the kids were worn out, had some great food and they loved the ice cream themselves.
