Noblesville Visitor’s Center Art Exhibit: Walt Thacker
May 1-30, Fri.-Sun. 12-5 p.m.
Noblesville Visitor’s Center
FREE!
Walt has always been a good artist but getting married, starting a family, and being the owner and operator of a bakery/snack route, pushed the artist within to the back burner. Oil painting was just one of many hobbies, but at age 36 something clicked. Walt was settling down and developing patience. It was then
that he picked up his brushes and began to paint, and has never stopped. Skill level improved, artwork progressed, and 25 years later, Walt is still at it. Walt is a self taught oil-painter who developed his own primitive style and paints by his own vision. His subject matter is usually ordinary mid-western scenes, with enough action going on that the painting hints of a story. Most scenes are of real places but sometimes the scenes are from his imagination. His paintings are always upbeat, cheerful, and engaging to look at. As Walt would say, “Good karma creates good artwork!”Walt is a juried member of the Hamilton County Artist’s Association and a member artist of Noblesville Creates. He currently resides in Carmel, IN.

Ken Yates Concert
May 7, 7 p.m.
Logan Street Sanctuary
$12 suggested donation
One of our favorite Canadians ~ and one of our favorite songwriters ~ Ken Yates returns to the LSS stage! This is Ken’s ONLY Indiana appearance, so don’t miss it! Ken Yates has steadily grown a reputation as one of the country’s brightest singer/songwriters. His sound offers the complete package—unforgettable melodies, emotionally charged storytelling, and top-notch guitar chops—all gloriously displayed on Yates’ new album, Huntsville. Choosing to name Huntsville after a song he’d written about a small northern Ontario town is a further indication of Yates’ musical vision. “It’s a place that I love,” he says. “A lot of the songs were inspired by what you could say was a northern Ontario landscape, but that song in particular is about leaving everything behind, traveling up north and staying there. After I wrote the line, ‘If them mornings don’t shine how you like, find a night to dream into,’ I felt like it represented the whole album in way, which is why I decided to make it the title track.” Ken Yates is a rare example of someone who, from the beginning, had clear intentions when he embraced the troubadour life, and the combined drive and talent to make it a reality. With Huntsville, he has now closed the chapter on those early days, and is ready to open a new and exciting one, without any limits holding back his artistic ambition.
