CHANGING EXHIBITS FALL 2020 – SUMMER 2021
FIX: HEARTBREAK AND HOPE INSIDE OUR OPIOID CRISIS
STATE OF NATURE: PICTURING INDIANA BIODIVERSITY
Open through Aug. 1, 2021
Open Feb. 13 through Sept 19, 2021
The United States is in the middle of a crisis that is destroying families and communities. A perfect storm of prescription drugs, powerful illegal narcotics, the science of brain chemistry and socio-economic pressures, among other factors, has fueled a spike in opioid abuse at all levels of society. Indiana is no exception.
Experience the astonishing beauty and discover the importance of Indiana’s biological diversity through pieces from the natural world and artworks created by artists with Indiana connections. Explore how forests and ecological diversity in Indiana defined the lives of Hoosiers over the years, then consider how urbanization and climate change has impacted Indiana’s biological system and our everyday lives.
In this exhibit you'll discover personal stories of recovery, explore the science behind opioid addiction, and learn how to affect positive change in this crisis.
The exhibit was developed in collaboration with the Grunwald Gallery of Art, Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design, Indiana University, Bloomington.
We invite teachers to visit this exhibit so you can share the information and resources with your students. As a reminder, all accredited K-12 educators receive free admission with their valid teacher ID. Supported by
