Madison Arts & Cultural Tour & Map
Madison has long been a tourism destination known for its natural and built beauty, boasting over 200 years of historic architecture; tree lined streets-capes, a lively commercial district, walk-able neighborhoods, colorful gardens, and assortment of artistic offerings, and events. It is an inspirational place. It is the combination of the old and new that makes the Madison Arts and Cultural District unique. Beautifully preserved, historic in nature, but interestingly progressive and contemporary, it has the fresh vibe of residents who are choosing to live ‘off the grid’ in a rural yet, urban setting. The natural and built environment invites those from all over and inspires the artist to tell the story with their art, their words, and images that are unique to this lovely little city.
Come see why we are ONE OF only TEN Indiana Arts & Cultural Districts in the state. From public parks, museums, galleries and studios, public art, wineries, breweries and confectioneries; businesses with art exhibits; to many more assets in our National Historic Landmark District.
