The latest exhibit to open at Fort Wayne Museum of Art pays tribute to Hoosier artists as well as an organization that has helped shine on a light on them the past century.
From Their Indiana Home: Artists of the Hoosier Salon from the Permanent Collection is an exhibition of Hoosier Salon artists which runs through Oct. 6 in honor of the Salon’s centennial.
For the landmark 100th anniversary, Fort Wayne Museum of Art will spotlight Hoosier Salon artists. Among them are early Fort Wayne art school instructors John Ottis Adams and William Forsyth; second generation Hoosier Group artists Dorothy Morlan and Robert Hardrick; and noted Fort Wayne area artists Jody Hemphill-Smith, Peggy Brown, Jim McBride, John Hrehov, Joel Fremion, and John Kelty.
Their works are among the dozens by Hoosier Salon artists Fort Wayne Museum of Art has collected in its equally long history.
