- 83nd Annual HOOSIER SALON
EXHIBIT
The Brookston Art Center will again host the Hoosier Salon in September.
This will be the 83rd annual exhibit of the group. Stay tuned for exact
dates and times!
The Hoosier Salon began in 1925 when the Daughters of Indiana opened the
doors to the first exhibition of Indiana artists at the Marshall Field and
Co. galleries in Chicago. They named their show after the famous French
salons of the 19th century, the women were eager to prove that Indiana artists
deserved national recognition. Critics and the public alike applauded the
high quality of the art, making the first exhibition a huge success. The
Hoosier Salon show was moved to Indianapolis in 1941 and was first
exhibited at the Indiana State Museum in 1990.
