ABOUT THE BUTLER ARTS CENTER In the heart of Indianapolis is a home for passion, creativity, innovation, and the highest caliber of professional and student performances – the Butler Arts Center. Our Vision The Butler Arts Center (BAC) is Central Indiana’s premier home for diverse performing arts programming and education. Through professional presentation, artist collaborations, commissioning, public and school outreach and community engagement we encourage the creation, appreciation, and understanding of the arts. The BAC brings people together for shared experiences that inspire and sustain our current and next generation of arts participants and patrons. Our Mission The Butler Arts Center is dedicated to meaningful experiences in and through the arts. Our mission is to bring people together to celebrate community.

The BAC serves the Butler University, Indianapolis and larger Central Indiana communities and hosts over 250,000 patrons annually for a variety of presentations that provide shared experiences in the performing and visual arts. Consolidating four arts venues on the campus of Butler University under one umbrella organization, The Butler Arts Center is anchored by Clowes Memorial Hall, which seats 2,123 and after 53 years remains Indiana’s most versatile and professional venue, having welcomed the world’s greatest talent and personalities—a star-studded list that includes Maya Angelou and Jimmy Fallon, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Itzhak Perlman, Wynton Marsalis and Sir Elton John. The Schrott Center for the Arts, completed in 2013, adds a one-of-a-kind, student- and community-focused facility to the Butler Arts Center.

He went to private schools, Hotchkiss then Yale, eventually pursuing a career in architecture. Both his father and paternal grandfather's careers were in banking. After earning his B.A. and M.A. degrees in architecture at Yale, Woollen worked for three years in New Canaan, Connecticut: one under the tutelage of Phillip Johnson, a nationally known architect, and two on his own. In 1955, at the age of 27, Woollen returned to Indianapolis, both setting up an office and marrying within a week of his return. His first Indianapolis practice specialized in residential design. By 1968, the firm was incorporated as Woollen Associates, and its range included a variety of building types, from commercial structures to public housing. Later, the firm was renamed Woollen, Molzan and Partners. Woollen has had a great impact on Indianapolis architecture. Some of Woollen's more famous buildings include Clowes Memorial Hall, the Minton-Capehart Federal Building, the silver addition to the Indianapolis Marion County Public Library (now Indianapolis Public Library), the entrance hall at the Children's Museum, and the Barton Tower on Massachusetts Avenue.

  • January 1964 Imoia
    JANUARY 1964 IMOIA 0 EW IMPROVED lERLITE BLOCK! [AMERICAN S LIGHTWEIGHT CINDER BLOCK] ABC AM ERLITE BLOCK MERICAN'S Amerlite' Block has been improved again . A thanks to two manufacturing innovations just completed at our plant. As the processing of the aggregate is the most important step in manufacturing quality cinder block, we have now added a newly developed electrically heated double-decked vibrating screen which divides the crushed cinders into two sizes—fine and coarse. Being electrically heated, the screen cannot become "blinded" by the wet cinders. The two sizes of aggregate are later combined in the proper proportion for making block of uniform texture never before obtainable. Also, a new type Fairbanks-Morse "electronic brain" has been installed which controls with punch card accuracy the aggregate mixing process. This new creation eliminates human error and guesswork. It electronically weighs and measures the aggregate and other ingredients in correct proportions, regulates the timing of the mix, and automatically compensates for any variations. Always specify and insist on Amerlite" masonry units . then you'll get the finest quality block-AND THE COST IS NO MORE. THOROSHEEN Acrylic Masonry Palni — A water-emulsion 100% acrylic resin masonry paint designed as a fmished coat to be applied over Thoroseal or as a color coat where texture of masonry is desired to be maintained. Unexcelled for color and beauty. Wide color selection. Interior or exterior use. Odor free, dries in 30 minutes. Can be water thinned and will not streak, lap, sag or run. Permits wall to breathe, thereby eliminating paint failure. Nonflammable.
