Celebrate the arts community!

Three Fridays every summer in downtown Lafayette the streets are transformed with local art and musicians as patrons enjoy an evening stroll. During each Gallery Walk, the local arts community collaborate with downtown businesses to showcase the arts culture in Greater Lafayette.

Attendees experience locally-created works of art. A way to connect with the arts and businesses, the Gallery Walk support the “shop local” initiative. The event encourages guests to stop into participating businesses and build relationships with artists. Each business on the Gallery Walk features artwork, music and the occasional complimentary beverage or hors d’oeuvres.

Celebrating its 15^th anniversary, the Gallery Walk is presented by Tippecanoe Arts Federation which provides education opportunities in the visual, performing and literary arts, outreach programs for both underserved communities and at-risk youth, and funding for capital and operational expenses to fellow arts organizations region-wide.

The first Gallery Walk is this coming Friday, May 17^th from 6-9pm.

A Hidden Oasis

A new contemporary hotel is now open in West Lafayette! The Whittaker Inn is a one-of-a-kind experience where they highlight personalized service, unique local flare, as well as an international twist in each guest room.

Sitting on 25 acres of wooded property on the Northside of West Lafayette, as you come around the twisted driveway you are greeted by a farmhouse exterior and a modern interior. While there is plenty of room to expand, the Whittakers want to keep the number of guest rooms to 15 so they are able to create a more personal experience.

And at the heart of the Whittaker Inn is their kitchen, where their chef uses the freshest local ingredients to prepare the daily breakfast menus, which is complementary to each guest. In addition, the Whittakers invite the community to utilize their unique gathering spaces to celebrate, collaborate or educate.

With decades of hospitality experience, Elizabeth & Andrew Whittaker settled on breaking ground for their hotel in Boilermaker Country….where they met on campus! This is where they got their professional and personal start together here, as well as some heart ties to it.

For several years, the owners traveled the world and soon came up with the idea for a destination themed B&B to share their passion for travel. With the plan in mind, each room represents a location the Whittakers have visited.

To escape your regular routine and have some R&R, consider escaping to this weekend retreat with your loved one.
