RAM is pleased to host the works of talented Indiana painters with the exhibit associated with the publication, Historic Indiana En Plein Air. The artwork by members of the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association (IPAPA) showcase views of the state from Lake County to Jefferson County, Steuben County to Posey County and many places in
between. All the paintings in the show, mostly executed on-site, depict one of Indiana’s 2,000 listings on the National Register of Historic Places. They depict a full range of the state’s listed sites, from county seat towns to ethnic heritage sites, historic houses, farmsteads, grand civic buildings and tranquil parks. The Indiana DNR – Division of Historic Preservation & Archaeology (DHPA) and IPAPA developed the exhibit and catalog to mark the 50th anniversary of Indiana’s historic preservation program. DHPA has just nominated the 2,000 th property to the National Register, St. Ferdinand Parish Historic District in Dubois County.
