This exhibit provides a vivid picture of that rich history along with insights from the artists about how their creative processes were influenced by their everyday surroundings in that part of the state.
IN the Abstract was curated in partnership with Mark Ruschman, Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites senior curator of art emeritus, as well as northern Indiana artist and curator Bob Cross.
