Indiana Traditional Arts Center is Morgan County's premier art center. The 1921 Arts & Crafts buildings, tastefully restored, are an attractive venue for the arts. Our mission is to teach the traditional arts so they do not die out and to also enrich peoples lives by showing them how to develop skills in those crafts. We are a community resource for enrichment in the artisan crafts.
We have had visitors and students from every state in the USA, from Canada, and even from China. These visitors have come to this little town of Monrovia to visit the Indiana Traditional Arts Center.
Indiana Traditional Arts Center was founded, and is directed by, Kathleen M. Gould Stevens. Mrs. Stevens, a retired school principal, has been designing and weaving textiles for individuals and for the interior design trade for 44 years. Her work is sold under the business KATHLEEN STEVENS HAND-WOVEN DESIGNS, est. 1976. The weavings are available through the ITAC Gallery and Kathleen Stevens Hand-Woven Designs Studio by appointment.
