Noblesville Creates, the county’s only nonprofit dedicated exclusively to supporting the arts, is inviting the community to celebrate a year of creative impact at its annual celebration on Thursday, September 25, 2025. The event will take place at the Embassy Suites in Noblesville and brings together local leaders, artists, and arts supporters to reflect on achievements and look ahead to the future of the arts in Hamilton County.

The organization, formerly known as Nickel Plate Arts, has spent the past year investing in local artists, hosting community events, and enriching the region’s cultural landscape. According to data released by Noblesville Creates, its efforts in 2024 generated $730,000 in household income, supported 37 full-time equivalent jobs, and contributed $530,000 to the local economy.

“We believe that connecting people through the arts is essential to making Hamilton County a vibrant, dynamic place to live, work, and play,” the organization said in a statement. “We’re proud of the impact we’ve made and excited to celebrate it with our community.”

Among the highlights of the past year:

  • 407 grants processed and $69,390 in art sales

  • 38 exhibits coordinated and four major community events hosted

  • Four total solar eclipse events held across the region

  • The successful pilot of the first Noblesville Cultural Arts District Art Crawl

  • The return of the popular Songwriter Series and Rock on Maple concerts

  • Internship of the Year honors from the Noblesville Schools Foundation

  • Growth in community engagement across social media platforms, with up to 155% increases in followers and interactions over the previous year

Despite road closures along State Road 32 and Pleasant Street for more than three months, the organization still managed to increase attendance by 1.2% compared to 2023.

Looking ahead, Noblesville Creates is seeking sponsors to support its mission. Sponsorship opportunities for the annual celebration range from $500 to $4,000 and directly fund programs that empower artists, offer creative experiences to the public, and help cities and businesses incorporate the arts into their planning.

“Noblesville Creates isn’t just about supporting art for art’s sake. It’s about building a stronger, more connected community,” the organization emphasized.
