Indianapolis, Indiana.-  The Indiana State Museum is pleased to present “Heartland Art: Selections from Your Indiana Collection”, on view at the museum through September 15th 2013. “Heartland Art” presents artwork created from the 1870’s to the present day from the Indiana State Museum’s fine art collection – treasures preserved for the people of Indiana. From early portraits of statesmen to post-impressionistic landscapes and multi-media abstracts, Indiana’s history and culture are discovered through the eyes of Hoosier artists.  The exhibition showcases the impressive talent that has made Indiana a leader, for longer than a century, in the creation of Midwestern visual arts. More than 45 paintings and sculptures, selected for their impact and quality, are displayed chronologically to reflect our state’s history. Diverse images range from an early Hoosier cabin to a robotic woman, and include an artist’s interpretation of the recent Obama election. Come see and take pride in your fine art collection at the Indiana State Museum.
