The Clark Gallery hosts more than 10 exhibits per year and features students, amateurs and professionals. Exhibits include the Wabash County Schools, Themed Art Competition and Wabash Art Guild. Because the Gallery encompasses the semi-circle of the Honeywell Center Porter Lobby, foot traffic exceeds 150,000 guests per year. Nearly every exhibit hosts a reception to introduce the public to the art. The Clark Gallery is named through a generous donation from the Clark family, in loving memory of Kenneth L. Clark. The Honeywell Center is north central Indiana's premier arts and entertainment facility with more than 3,000 events and 150,000 visitors annually. Concerts, conferences, charity galas, art exhibits and educational outreach programs are among the diverse events at the Honeywell Center. All programs and activities are supported by gifts from individuals, businesses, the Indiana Arts Commission (a state agency) and the National Endowment for the Arts (a federal agency).
