Community Calendar

Food Finders Food Bank is excited to kick off its 14th annual Drive Away Hunger fall food drive on November 1st, running through December 6th. We invite the community to unite in stocking our shelves and ensure those facing hunger can provide for their families this winter. After surpassing our 650,000-meal goal last year, we’re setting our sights higher for 2024 with a new goal of 750,000 meals. Your support is crucial in helping us reach this ambitious goal!

The Hoosier Group: Indiana’s First Impressionists

Don’t miss the Hoosier Group: Indiana’s First Impressionists exhibition at the Haan Museum. It will make visitors understand why the Hoosier Group was among the most important groups of artists in the country at the turn of the twentieth century.

This very important exhibition will include iconic works by T. C. Steele, J Ottis Adams, Otto Stark, William Forsyth and R. B. Gruelle. While the five artists never formally organized as a group, they all celebrated the quiet beauty and everyday experiences of Indiana. They were known as the best representatives in the Midwest of what was then considered “modern art”.

Art critic Hamlin Garland referred to the artists as “The Hoosier Group” in his praises of their “Five Hoosier Painters” exhibition in Chicago, and their paintings were described as "a truly American expression within the modern idiom”.

Steele is still recognized as the most important Indiana artist, and the exhibition will feature twenty-one of his best works. Paintings of his children engaged in cultural pursuits give a glimpse of their lives.
