Art in the Indianapolis suburb of Westfield, Indiana occupies quite a strong presence, as it does in its fast-growing sister suburbs, Noblesville, Fishers and Carmel. One of the main reasons is the new Gallery One 36, which is becoming a meeting place for the creative.

The gallery occupies a renovated, two-story house in a historical sector of Westfield. On exhibit there are many of the finest artists in the region. They also offer special events such as Poetry and Music Night, and workshops.

Other venues for the creative culture lover dot the area. Just about five miles away, the new Arts & Design District in Carmel, Indiana is attracting artists by the dozens. In fact, a broad spectrum of the arts can be sampled almost any day or night in state capital Indy, only ten miles away due south.

Westfield, while growing fast, is still a family town, and its attractions reflect that fact.

One of the most elegant attractions in Westfield is the Bridgewood Club, a residential golf community that covers 750 beautiful sprawling acres. Upscale to the nth degree, this amazing community contains a championship golf course, a practice range rated among the top ten in the nation, distinctive homes and large lots, a retail and office center and one of the finest country clubs in the world.

Another Westfield attraction is the Wood Wind Golf Academy in Westfield. Considered one of the most popular golf courses in Indiana, it also offers professional lessons, banquets and tournaments.

The new Westfield Washington Historical Society & Museum is well worth a look. You will find pure nostalgia and authentic memorabilia within its newly-refurbished walls. And the Historical Society offers regular historic tours as well, such as the popular Underground Railroad Tour.

The Westfield Washington Public Library is one of the main hubs in the community, offering much more than books to borrow. At the library, residents can choose from any number of opportunities. They can, for example, take in a concert, learn how to run a computer or enter into a lively discussion with their peer groups. Or they can just pass some pleasant time reading a book.
