Hoosier Salon Welcomes New Executive Director
Hoosier Salon is excited to welcome Jim May as our new executive director. Jim has an outstanding background in art and is well known to Indiana artists and art collectors.
Jim worked at the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites as curator of fine arts (1993-2001), director of collections and interpretation (2001-2005) and vice president of museum programs (2006-2009). One of his most significant projects there was serving as project manager for developing exhibits when the new Indiana State Museum opened in 2002.
He also worked at the Herron School of Art at IUPUI as an instructor and director for the Center for Art, Design and Public Life.
Jim worked in private industry from 2009 to 2013 at Briljent, LLC, but he is eager to return to his roots in art and not-for-profit management.
Jim earned a BFA in painting and commercial design from the University of Evansville and a master’s degree in art history from Indiana University.
He became our executive director at the beginning of March and looks forward to getting to know Hoosier Salon artists, supporters and friends. Be sure to introduce yourself to him whenever you’re at a Hoosier Salon event!

The Why’s and What’s of Sponsoring an Exhibit
Advertise your business & support local artists
Are you a supporter of a certain artist or fan of a specific medium of art? Show your support and passion of art by sponsoring one of our Feature Exhibit shows. As a sponsor, we would advertise your business on all of the promotional material in print and on the web prior to the opening night for the exhibit. We begin each show with an opening reception where guests, patrons, artists, members of the Hoosier Salon and the general public come to enjoy hors d’oeuvres, drinks and the new exhibit. It is an evening of fun, food and art. Sponsorships make this night along with the advertising possible.
Why Sponsor?
Sponsoring an exhibit allows you to support specific artists of the Hoosier Salon. Having a sponsor underwrites the promotion of the featured artists and the Opening Reception of the exhibit. Sponsoring an exhibit also allows the Hoosier Salon to promote you and/or your business through social media, on the sponsorship board shown in the gallery, and through the promotional postcard for the exhibit which is sent out to about 1,000 patrons.
What does it cost to sponsor a Featured Exhibit?
A donation of $500 is the recommended amount for a sponsorship. This helps pay for the mailing and postage of the postcards and for the food and supplies needed during the Featured Exhibit’s opening reception.
Sponsorship benefits include:
- In-gallery advertisement
- Online advertisement
- Promotional material of person/business located in the gallery
- Great exposure
- New clientele
- Promotion of a not-for-profit organization
- Supporting the arts culture of Indiana and Carmel
- Ability to choose which show you would like to support
- Sneak preview of the exhibit and artwork

New Harmony 9th Annual Member Exhibit “The Good Ole Summertime”
9th Annual Member Exhibit
“THE GOOD OLE SUMMERTIME”
This is the 9th Annual “The Good Ole Summertime” Member Exhibit at the Hoosier Salon New Harmony Gallery. The exhibit is on display from August 14 through September 14 thanks to the generosity of our sponsors Robert and Ann Scarafia. Artist members of the Hoosier Salon were invited to participate by entering up to two pieces with the assurance that at least one piece would be exhibited as long as it met the criteria put forth in the prospectus. This year, thirty-nine artists are participating, presenting a variety of mediums in 2D and 3D artwork. The exhibit is not juried for acceptance, but is juried for awards, including the $600 Fifth Third Bank “Best of Show” Award. The recipient was Kathryn J. Houghton of Crawfordsville, IN. The presentation of awards took place on Saturday, August 23 during the New Harmony Summer Art & Antique Stroll with fifteen artists receiving awards.
Jurors: Kathryn Waters and Karen Walker
“Each year, we (the judges) have become increasingly impressed as the artists participating in the Hoosier Salon Member Exhibit have grown in artistic strength and versatility. The 2014 exhibit displays many mediums with a willingness of the artists to take more risks as they venture into new mediums. The entries demonstrate a high level of skill and technique. Overall, it provides a wonderful example of our member artist’ talent. It has been a pleasure to act as judges.”
The Hoosier Salon thanks our two judges for their time and expertise. Both ladies have been members of our Hoosier Salon Advisory Board since 2006. We value their input in many ways. Each brings a unique perspective to the judging process. Waters is a Professor of Art, Director of the McCutchan Art Center/Pace Galleries, and Associate Dean of the School of Liberal Arts at the University of Southern Indiana. Walker is the former Public Relations & Advertising Director for Deaconess Health System and brings her expertise for what makes a visual statement and as a collector of fine art.

“Can You See a Song”
“Can You See a Song” Kicks off September 19
This photo collage, created by photographer Mark Foster, shows the last kick off assembly for the students and faculty of the school.
The Educational Outreach committee of the board co-chaired by Bruce Buchanan and Robyn McMahon is excited to announce the kick-off of the 2014/2015 educational outreach program at the Winding Ridge School of Inquiry and the Performing Arts in Lawrence Township on Friday, September 19th at 9:30 a.m.
The concept created in 2012 by Executive Director Donnae Dole and her staff, combine the efforts of the Indianapolis Jazz Foundation’s music program and the wonderfully talented artists of the Hoosier Salon. The kick-off is an assembly for the 4 through 6th graders of the Winding Ridge School’s art program. Working with Principal Alicia Harris and art teacher Dawn Heffernan, the 4th, 5th and 6th graders will have the opportunity to participate during the months following the kick off to create their own works of art in the same manner that the professional artists do.
Hoosier Salon artists, Martha Sando, April Willy and Thom Himsel created works of art during the assembly while the musicians played. It is a wonderful blend of the creative processes, said Alicia Harris, allowing our students to truly think out of the box during their creative process.
*If you are interested in learning more about this program and/or donating art supplies, please call Donnae Dole at 317-669-6051
