Main Exhibition
Hoosier Women in Art: My Generation
Our annual Hoosier Women in Art exhibition is moving online for the month of May! Due to the public health crisis surrounding the novel coronavirus, we’ve decided that it would be safest for artists and guests to engage with this exhibition on our website. Learn more about the exhibit below!
Whether you’re a Baby Boomer, Millennial, or Gen Xer, this exhibition is for you! Featuring artwork in a variety of mediums, this show displays the theme of “generation” through the lens of diverse female and female-identifying artists, including topics such as families through generations, social, political, and cultural climates of different eras, and the diverse artistic styles from various decades. This could also include work created during and/or reflecting on our current climate surrounding the coronavirus and quarantine situation.
