Current Exhibitions
Remembered
Through September 29, 2018
The exhibition will showcase all of the Memorial Purchase Awards selected by past Jurors, Museum Staff, and, in some cases, by the Patrons who have sponsored the award in memory of a special person over the last 40 Elkhart Juried Regional Exhibitions. All media will be represented including both painting and sculpture. Many of the artists represented will be familiar names to museum members.
Bam! Pow! Swoosh!
Through September 21, 2018
In conjunction with the second annual Elkhart Comic-Con, the Midwest Museum of American Art is pleased to offer a new exhibition featuring original comic book illustrations. The contents of this exhibition have been borrowed from the collection of Allen Stewart, director for Hall of Heroes Museum in Elkhart, Indiana.
The American West: Vision & Revision
Through September 29, 2018
Since the theme of the American West has been a truly unique chapter in the Story of American Art for more than one hundred and fifty years, a new exhibit will be presented for the New Year on the second floor of the museum. Featured will be never-before-seen works representing the time-honored subject of Native Americans, mountain men, and pioneers of westward expansion.
The Golden Age of Illustration
Through November 11, 2018
This exhibition features the work of American Illustrators who were most active around the turn of the century during America’s Gilded Age. While this intimate exhibition highlights few of America’s most accomplished illustrators it certainly presents a commanding tier of those who resonate an instantaneous association with another place and time outside of one’s immediate sphere.
American Modernism in the 20th Century
Through November 11, 2018
After the first quarter of the 20th century, American Modernists had taken their cues from the European avant-garde. American artists featured in this spotlight exhibition like Katherine S. Dreier (1870-1953) embraced the new style as a reflection of mass industrialization, the Jazz Age, and to two aggressive World Wars.
