Logan Street Sanctuary

Logan Street Sanctuary, Inc (LSS) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit music and arts venue that is an integral part of the Noblesville Arts and Cultural district. LSS offers regularly scheduled concerts and art and literature events, including the annual NICE (Noblesville Interdisciplinary Creativity Expo). We also host The Polk Street Review and The Vagina Monologues (sponsored by Prevail, Inc.). Most events have a $12 suggested donation that goes directly to the performers. We also put out a jar for LSS donations to "keep the lights on".
Our main space seats about 60-70, with a performance stage for singer-songwriters (original and public domain music only).
LSS is an excellent listening environment for quality acoustic music; comfortable with good acoustics. Primary seating is in church pews (newly re-upholstered and padded). Unlike bars, restaurants, and many other venues, we do not and never will have TVs hanging on the walls. We encourage polite listening for the performer’s and the audience’s sake.
Music teachers can teach and hold recitals here. We have a nice baby grand piano. The building can be rented for other types of performers, for lessons and/or recitals, and for small weddings, receptions, meetings, etc. We have a small recording studio available for demos/EPs.
We also are very proud to be an art gallery hanging some of the best art in the area.

A Note from the President of LSS:
In 2013, I began looking for a place to teach guitar lessons and have a recording studio. This old church in the historic district of downtown Noblesville was a rundown mess, BUT it had church pews and a stage area. So I bought it and began remodeling (extensively, and ongoing). About this time, my hometown of Noblesville began creating an arts and culture district, so, for once in my life, my timing was really good. With the help of City Hall, Nickel Plate Arts, Noblesville Main Street, The Noblesville Preservation Alliance, and local artists, musicians, neighbors and friends, I turned this humble little old church into a “Sanctuary” for artists of all kinds: painters, potters, poets, spoken word, singer/songwriters, etc. As a songwriter myself, I have a special affinity for singer/songwriters and LSS proudly features the best local and traveling songwriters.
If you aren’t tired of reading yet… a little about the building. It was not built in Noblesville, and its origins, despite research, are still mysterious. We do know it was originally built as a WWI Army barracks in Ohio and was donated to the Christ Lutheran Church after the war. They disassembled it and transported it to Noblesville and dedicated it in Noblesville in April of 1938. I bought it in April, 75 years later.
In November 2015, we became a 501(3)(c) not-for-profit organization. Logan Street Sanctuary's goal to be a proud and integral part of the Noblesville Arts and Cultural district.
