  About Noblesville Creates
  Noblesville Creates is a nonprofit organization that supports and promotes local art in Hamilton County.

The art is approachable and all ages are welcome to experience art in a new way.
  What to Expect
  When you step inside Noblesville Creates, you feel like you’re stepping inside someone’s home. The main room is a gallery space with rotating displays each month, focusing on a different theme. Wander across the patio to the adjacent building where you can interact with artists in their studios to watch them in action, learn more about their craft and purchase a piece of art.
