ARTISTS AND ART ENTHUSISTS, JOIN US IN THE CELEBRATION OF OUR 100TH ANNUAL EXHIBITION ANNIVERSARY!

100th Exhibit Preview Event – Thursday, August 22nd  6:00 – 10:00PM ET at the Indiana State Museum. Doors open at 5:30PM ET

100 years of tradition! Imagine what it would have been like to attend the first Hoosier Art Salon Annual Exhibition in Chicago in 1925.

Hundreds of people attended the reception before the exhibition opened.  All four living Hoosier Group members – T.C. Steel,  J. Ottis Adams, Otto Stark and William Forsythe – had works displayed, along with art from Charles Dahlgreen, Frank Dudley, Frederick Polley, J. Will Vawter and Clifton Wheeler.

Fast forward through many historic years, challenging events and progress, the Hoosier Art Salon is alive and well. Hoosier Group artists would be thrilled and awed by the excellence, diversity and groundbreaking art being produced in Indiana today.

100 years of history is a big responsibility!  With your help, participation and support we plan to keep the tradition alive for the next 100 years to come!

This year, 264 artists submitted 675 entries. The judges Jill Stefani Wagner and Qiang Huang accepted 143 works for the 100th Annual Hoosier Art Salon Exhibit.
