An Invitation to the Central & Southern Indiana Art Tour
Monday – Friday October 12 – 16, 2026 [Five days, four nights]
To all members of the Far West Community Arts Associates, the West Suburban Arts Society, and the Village Arts Associates
As our Art Groups continue to further art experiences, the Tour Committee of Suzanne Rielly, Lorraine Gawlik, Eileen Robbins, Marti Seaton, and Treva Smith have been planning an exciting and unique road trip for our members.
The tour through various Indiana cities will include several notable art museums/sites such as Newfields, the Indy Arts Sculpture Garden, the Kokomo Glass Factory, the Schroeder Saddletree Factory, the Bob Ross Experience, the city of Columbus’ architecture, the French Lick resort, the Brown County Artist Colony and historic mansions in Lafayette, Indianapolis, Columbus, Madison, and Nashville. The Itinerary is included below along with the Registration form.
We will depart by motor coach at 8:30 A.M. on Monday, October 12 from the Christ Lutheran Church. Parking is available, but carpooling is encouraged. A list of other attendees will be sent prior, so those arrangements can be made. Bus entertainment will include trivia games and the classic Indiana film, Family Persuasion.
There is a maximum of 25 tourgoers with a waiting list. Your reservation will be placed by the date of the postmarked envelope. The tour cost of $1,500 will include transportation on the coach, hotels, and admission tickets. All hotel rooms will be issued as singles, and all meals (not included) will be per individual.
Send a $500 deposit check payable to Far West Community Arts Associates along with your completed Registration Form by June 15 to Lorraine Gawlik [1 S 104 Rhoads Way; Winfield, Il 60190-2812]. The $1,000 balance and waiver form will be due August 15. Please contact Marti Seaton with any questions [seaton.marti@gmail.com, 630.267.4253].
Detailed information and final schedule will be delivered two weeks prior to departure. We look forward to having you join us!
