19 Stars of Indiana Art: A Bicentennial Celebration

This exhibition celebrates the artistic achievements of men and women who were born, raised, or worked in Indiana. The state's 200-year history is explored in key chapters that demonstrate creative accomplishments in painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, and decorative, design, and fashion arts drawn from the IMA's rich permanent collection. The quality and variety of the contributions of Indiana's artists have created legacies of regional, national, and international distinction that are highlighted in honor of the state's bicentennial year.
