Jasper Arts is selling tickets online, by phone or in person at the Thyen-Clark Cultural Center, 100 3rd Avenue. The box office is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and tickets are also available one hour before showtime at the performance venue. The department is offering flexible ticket packages with multi-show bundles.

Jasper Arts now manages both the Jasper Arts Center and the Atrium and Arts Wing of the Thyen-Clark Cultural Center. The city’s arts commission has 11 members appointed through the mayor, City Council, Jasper Parks and Recreation Board and Greater Jasper Consolidated School Board, and the staff has grown from two employees to six full-time and four part-time employees as the program expanded. The cultural center itself offers more than 63,000 square feet of space, while the Arts Wing includes more than 6,000 square feet across three galleries.

The Jasper Arts Center sits on Jasper’s southeast side, adjacent to Vincennes University Jasper, and remains open to the public only on performance days. Support for the season comes from presenting and sponsoring partners including Jim and Pat Thyen, Kimball International and other local businesses and organizations. Jasper Arts and the Jasper Public Library began discussing expansion in the early 2000s, and the 2015 matching-grant challenge from Jim and Pat Thyen helped launch Jasper LEADs, the fundraising effort behind the Astra Theatre and the arts center.
