The 2018 Hoosier Salon opened on August 3rd at the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis, Indiana. Mario Andres Robinson and Mark Boedges were selected to judge this year's 658 entries from 257 artists to determine the final selection of 150 works of art.
According to the Hoosier salon website, "The Hoosier Salon legacy began in 1925 when the Daughters of Indiana opened the doors to the first exhibition of Indiana contemporary artists at Marshall Fields and Company Galleries in Chicago. The high quality of art was applauded by critics and the public alike, the first exhibition included works by such notables as T.C. Steele, J. Otis Adams, and Will Vawter, and was an unqualified success.
In 1940 the annual exhibit moved from Chicago to downtown Indianapolis finally settling at the Indiana State Museum after various venues."
As always, there was a broad range of subject matter and mediums juried into the exhibition. The exhibition never disappoints those who visit the show on an annual basis, and first-time visitors will be rewarded with quality artwork from dedicated artists.
