The University of Southern Indiana’s Historic New Harmony invites you to help celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the construction of the Atheneum Visitors Center in New Harmony, Indiana from Thursday, October 10 through Saturday, October 12.
Completed in 1979, the Atheneum is an internationally celebrated and award-winning example of modern architecture. Notable for its light and clean spaces, the Atheneum is a three-story building with a long ramp and overlaying grids that provide beautiful views of the town, Wabash River and surrounding countryside from just about anywhere inside and on the spacious viewing deck on the roof. It was designed so that visitors can take a specific path through the building and then emerge into New Harmony itself.
Charitable gifts and funds raised from these events will be used for renovations and upgrades to the Atheneum to ensure it remains a vibrant part of New Harmony’s landscape for many more years to come.
Tickets are currently on sale for a black and white themed reception, gala dinner, auction and after-party at USI.edu/atheneum40tickets. The dinner will be catered by Kyle Kellogg, chef at the Evansville Country Club. Additional information about the celebration, including panel discussion and speaker series events, can be found at USI.edu/atheneum40.
