Applications are now open for the 2017 Hoosier Women Artists contest. This annual competition, which began in 2008, celebrates the arts in communities across the state.
The contest includes a variety of visual arts, like drawing, painting and photography. Submitted artwork will be judged by a panel including Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell and peer artists.
The winner of the Hoosier Women Artists contest will have their artwork displayed at the Statehouse in the offices of the lieutenant governor and treasurer.
In addition, other pieces of art will be selected by First Lady Janet Holcomb, Secretary Connie Lawson, Auditor Tera Klutz and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick to display in their offices.
Submissions, which can be made through April 19, and other details can be found by clicking here.
A reception will be held at the Statehouse from 11 a.m. to noon, on
Friday, May 19, to honor the selected artists.
I look forward to seeing the submissions from our talented community.
