The Hoosier Art Salon is one of Indiana’s longest-running juried art exhibitions, and reaching its 102nd edition is a milestone that speaks to the enduring passion Hoosiers have for the visual arts. The annual showcase has long served as a beloved platform for both emerging and established local artists to share their work with the broader community.

By hosting the exhibition at the Indiana State Museum, organizers ensure that the artwork reaches a wide and diverse audience — from lifelong art enthusiasts to families discovering Indiana’s creative culture for the first time. The museum setting lends the works a fitting sense of prestige while keeping the experience accessible to all.

The Hoosier Art Salon’s century-plus run is a testament to the deep roots that the arts have in Indianapolis and throughout Indiana. Each year’s exhibition reflects the unique perspectives, styles, and stories of the artists who call this state home, offering visitors a window into the rich and varied creative life thriving right in their own backyard.
