Pat Bardes and Patricia Rhoden of Nashville are among 134 Indiana artists whose works were selected for the Hoosier Salon 95th Annual Exhibition, on display through Oct. 13 at the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis.
This is Bardes’ first time to be accepted into the exhibition, with her oil painting “Boats at Tomatlan” on display. Patricia Rhoden’s painting is an oil titled “Glimmer.”
The juried exhibition features 154 works ranging from oil paintings and drawings to sculptures. To enter, an artist must be a current resident or have lived in Indiana for at least one year. This year’s Annual Exhibition attracted 571 entries from 161 artists in 52 Indiana counties and 10 states. Twenty-two artists are being featured for the first time.
The annual juried competition promotes Hoosier artists and their art by identifying the best works by Indiana artists, showcasing them in the annual exhibition and making them available for sale.
The show is open to the public during regular museum hours, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays. Admission to the entire museum is $17 for adults, $16 for seniors, $15 for college students and $12 for youth. Admission is free to Indiana State Museum members and children younger than 3.
The Hoosier Salon Annual Exhibition is Indiana’s longest-running annual exhibition of works by Indiana artists. The first Hoosier Salon exhibition opened in 1925 at Marshall Field and Company Galleries in Chicago.
