Since 1975 Greenfield Banking Company has provided a gallery for Central Indiana Artists to display their work. The gallery was located in the bank’s main office in downtown Greenfield. Then in 1999 it was moved to the banks new main office and is currently located in the second floor lobby.
Many artists, young & old have displayed artwork over the years. Their creations include watercolor, oil and acrylic paintings, photographs, textile art, photo essays, pencil drawings and pastels to name a few. Press releases and photographs are distributed to local media to promote each artists show and a large sign at the bank’s main entrance directs visitors upstairs to the gallery.
The art gallery benefits not only the artists but also the community by making the visual arts more accessible to the local residents. The gallery is another way Greenfield Banking Company makes a positive contribution to the quality of life in our community.
BETTY BOYLE'S ARTWORK ON DISPLAY

The paintings in Betty’s exhibit are scenes from travels throughout the United States and abroad.

She taught classes for the Metropolitan Arts Council of Indianapolis and is recognized as a signature artist for the Watercolor Society of Indiana and Kentucky Watercolor Society. Her artwork has also been on display both nationally and locally including the Hoosier Salon, Penrod, Broad Ripple and Talbott Street art fairs.
