Overview
The Art Association of Henry County, Inc. was formed in 1965 by Elizabeth Dodds Shaffer, one of the leading artists in East Central Indiana, and several other artists in the county. This group planned and worked to create an art center for the community.
In 1992, through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Verl Shaffer, the Art Association purchased a 100-year-old building in New Castle, which was renovated into the Art Center.
The Park is perfect for concerts, weddings, receptions, festivals, music events, career fairs, etc. It also attracts local citizens and visitors who come to enjoy the gardens, ponds, and trees.
