  • Through the Years with Tri Kappa Fine Arts Since Its Beginning in 1901, Tri Kappa Has Been a Supporter of the Arts

  • TRI-KAPPA COLLECTION of ARTWORKS at ROSE-HULMAN
    TRI-KAPPA COLLECTION OF ARTWORKS at ROSE-HULMAN The Tri-Kappa Art Collecion of Indiana artists is valuable and unique. Started in 1932, the collection contains over 100 artworks by almost as many artists. The value of the collection has increased manyfold since then. After years of traveling all over the state, it was found necessary to permanently house the collection. As a result of an all-chapter poll in 1973, the chapters voted to loan nearly every painting to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. The works would be reframed and restored if necessary, insured, and hung permanently in the John Logan Library, which is hailed as a fire-proof building. A few paintings have been added to the collection in the library since 1973. The Tri-Kappa chapters are encouraged to plan outings to view the collection. 1 PATRIARCH MAPLE 69th Hoosier Salon 1993 Ken Bucklew (b. 1957) No. 1 Oil 15.5 X 11.5 Ken was born in Greencastle, Indiana on March 8, 1957. He grew up on the edge of Spencer in Owen County, Indiana about 13 miles northeast of Bloomington. The Bucklew Gallery is currently located in Spencer near the entrance to Indiana’s oldest “ McCormick’s Creek” State Park. Ken’s natural talent for drawing and painting was recognized by his elementary school art teacher, Ms. Ina Hight, who gave him an awareness of his potential. Ken’s work began earning him recognition, awards and a limited income during his high school years. Ken was accepted by a technical school and planned on earning his degree in commercial art.

  • Hoosier Women at Work for the Vote
    http://www.in.gov/history/hoosierwomenatwork.htm Hoosier Women at Work for the Vote Coming to Indiana University, Bloomington SPRING 2020 We want to make the 2020 commemoration of women’s suffrage the most exciting conference yet. We will not host a HWW conference in . 2019 in order to prepare and to give everyone time to gather stories FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 2018 of the work Indiana women did to gain suffrage and equal rights. HARRISON CENTER FOR THE ARTS So let’s get to work! Let’s dig through newspapers, letters, INDIANAPOLIS photographs, and interviews; compare, analyze, interpret, write, post, and publish; and push back, organize, and speak up to tell the stories of Indiana women. These are the stories that in turn inform the national narrative of who we are as Americans and world citizens. Half the story is missing! See you in 2020. Hoosier Women at Work 2018 Thank you for joining us in the much needed work of including women in the story of the Hoosier state. On paper historians agree that including the histories of women and other marginalized groups provides a more complete understanding of the events that shape our communities, state, and world. However, in practice, very few historians are researching, publishing, or posting on women’s history. Having identified a dearth of resources on Indiana women’s history, organizers from various institutions, both public and private, came together to create this conference. The Harrison Center is pleased to present “Bubbling Over.” The exhibition highlights the work of women in the arts in conjunction with the third annual Hoosier Women at Work Conference.
