A weekend of shopping, discovering & fall fun.

Take the country roads. Wander eleven home stops. Find the handmade, the unexpected, and the people who make a place worth coming back to.

October Market Trails 2027 flyer with autumn leaves, pumpkins, shopping details, dates, and the original ten home stops; Tulip Fields is added as stop 11 on this page
The original flyer lists ten home stops. Now there are eleven: Tulip Fields, Shelly Ruffalo’s stop, has joined the trail.

Shop. Explore. Support small business.

Eleven properties.
A different vibe at every stop.

October Market Trails weaves shoppers through Jasper County, Indiana, from one homeowner’s property to the next. Each home stop has its own event within the larger trail weekend, with its own atmosphere, unique vendors, and reasons to stay a little longer.

Some stops are home to permanent businesses that welcome the public daily or by appointment. A fall discovery might become a favorite place to visit throughout the year. Check each business’s hours before returning outside the trail weekend.

This is a chance to meet independent sellers, support artisans and small Indiana businesses, and enjoy a weekend in the country. No two stops are quite alike. Browse one property, follow the road to the next, and see what catches your eye.

Keck Studio & Gallery is one of the eleven home stops. Our gathering, Rural Art Revival™, brings original art and the people making it into this shared autumn adventure.

Home stop 10 · Wheatfield, Indiana

Our stop has
a little country soul.

I’m Michel Keck, and my studio and gallery is one home stop on the trail of eleven. Here, the weekend will be home to Rural Art Revival™: a small, juried gathering where folk and outsider art, self-taught voices, and trained artists all belong.

Our stop is centered around artists working in paintings, photography, ceramics, fiber arts, jewelry making, and more. Come look closely, ask questions, and meet the people behind the work.

Original art and fine art prints are at the heart of it, alongside artist demonstrations, outlaw country and bluegrass music, food trucks, a wine tent, and handmade artisan goods. Look for handmade skin care and jams, jellies, hot sauces, and canned goods from Indiana farmers as the first-year lineup comes together.

The inaugural Rural Art Revival™ takes place during October Market Trails, October 1–3, 2027. My goal is to eventually hold both spring and fall arts events, giving artists and visitors more reasons to gather.

Visit Friday or Saturday to meet all participating artists. Both days run 9 AM–4 PM. The gallery is open Sunday, 11 AM–4 PM, with visiting-artist participation optional. All hours for our stop are Central Time.
