The exhibition, and its accompanying catalogue, will show how artists from Indiana worked at home and abroad, what influenced them, how they banded together in mutual support and how they resolved to paint new visions of their home state. It will also include artists who came from elsewhere to call Indiana their artistic home, establishing reputations that have forever linked them to the Hoosier state. Hoosier Light, on view through October 17, is made possible by the generous support of Bennett, Boehning and Clary, Haan Crafts Corporation, and Lafayette Bank and Trust.
The Greater Lafayette Museum of Art is open with free admission Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. A free parking lot is available at its 10th Street entrance.
