The traditions of homegrown produce, artisan crafts and Hoosier hospitality continue to this day in Brown County, Indiana. Since the 1930's, the county has become known for its population of fine artists, including painters, sculptors and more. The agricultural county sits in the heart of South Central Indiana, yet is a mere 40-minute drive from the state's capital, Indianapolis.
The Pioneer Colony of Nashville, Indiana offers a unique combination of history, art and specialty shops. Often referred to as The Art Colony of the Midwest™, Nashville is home to artists from a spectrum of media -- painting, glass blowing, pottery, woodwork, metalwork, and more. Artists' studios are open to public visits, and in some cases, are included in scheduled tours throughout Brown County studios and galleries.
About Columbus, Indiana

A surprising community that is known around the world for its collection of work by renowned architects and landscape architects. Located within the Indianapolis, Louisville, and Cincinnati triangle, this would be just another forgettable small Midwestern city except for the vision of local leaders who wanted to make Columbus the best community they could create. The results speak for themselves.
