The Anderson Museum of Art is located in an exquisite example of a former Carnegie Library in…read moreIndiana. My jaw dropped when I entered and saw the elegant scrollwork and magnificent stained glass rotunda. The former library, now is home to the Anderson Museum of Art. The Arts Education Outreach Specialist, Molly, was welcoming and informative about the building and museum. We paid a small admission fee ($3) to visit the museum. Today, the museum promotes the arts with two front galleries that hold juried exhibits. A third gallery holds works of local artists. Funds from a small gift shop are used to continue restoration of the building. A small frame shop is also available to purchase custom frames. Downstairs is a Children's Art Center and classroom. The facility also hosts events, such as weddings. Construction of the Beaux-Arts style building started in 1903. The mayor of Anderson had requested a grant from Andrew Carnegie. The city received $50,000 from Carnegie and finished the building in 1905 at a cost of $52,000. Kokomo Opalescent Glass provided the glass for the breathtaking rotunda dome. The building served as a library until 1987, replaced by a modern facility. The building sat idle for nine years after 1987 resulting in extensive water damage. Restoration efforts have been possible through gifts from art patrons and grants from the city of Anderson. Some of the fixtures are period pieces or reproductions. I highly recommend a visit if you like art and history. There is free parking in front of the building.

The actual art museum was very good but what looked like a "fun" experience for my grandkids…read moredownstairs was very unfortunate. They have a reading tent for kids downstairs with several books promoting gender identity issues creating a needless questions in innocent children in a space where parents are uninvited. I just think people need to be aware of this before the go.

I never reviewed this place?…read more How entirely strange as I went here numerous numerous times when I worked in Anderson. Perhaps when I left my job in Anderson I forgot to review this gem in the process. I have only been here on two types of circumstances. One was an exhibit regarding the White River that the owner invited me to. The other type was for painting classes, of which I went there plenty of times. They did it specially for my work and I would say I went there four or five times for that. At least. Like a drink and draw, but without the alcohol. The instructor they had teaching - a school art teacher - was frazzled the first time my work went as we didn't exactly stick to the game plan, but all sort of drew derivations of what she had planned. However, as she got to know us and understood us, she warmed up. She also ensured that the variety of paintings she taught us were exactly that: a variety. Many different types of styles including some whimsical and kid like ones. Everything from birch trees, to summer fields of flowers, to concentric circles, to whimsical owls and birds. Eliot who owns the place is a pretty rad guy as well. Always good to talk music too (though it did get me into trouble with my work via a coworker). But hey if I finally find someone who knows who actually knows who all is referenced in the song Emmylou, who the Decemberists are, and has also seen Bob Dylan and the like in concert? I am going to talk to them, because they are a rare breed. So while you're there look out for the framed concert posters.
