ABOUT THE WELLS COMMUNITY CULTURAL CENTER & GALLERIES

The Historic Wells Community Cultural Center is owned and operated by The Arts Federation. Located at the heart of the Greater Lafayette Community at 638 North Street, the building serves as an anchor facility for the state-designated Tippecanoe Arts & Cultural District.

A gift from Dr. Albert Wells to the City of Lafayette in 1926, this building served for many years as the main branch of the Tippecanoe County Public Library. Presently featuring three galleries, the Wells Community Cultural Center is now a hub of art resources and opportunities for the Greater Lafayette Community. In addition to exhibition space, the Wells Building serves as multi-use cultural facility providing area artists and arts organizations with performance, rehearsal, meeting, and storage space.

The purpose of the TAF Galleries is to provide opportunities for artists from north central Indiana to display their original artwork. Art for the galleries is selected through a juried process.

Three spaces are available for exhibitions. Please note choice of galleries is awarded according to each applicant's score.
