This exhibition extends beyond the gallery walls.

Included in Capturing the Campus is a three-channel video installation by Arthur Liou, exploring T.C. Steele’s Brown County home, preserved as it was during his lifetime.

Moving through the home across the seasons, the installation offers a quiet, immersive look into the environment that shaped Steele’s work.

It’s an experience that connects place, time, and artistic practice in a powerful way.

Opening April 17

Beyond the paintings, this exhibition reveals the world around them.

Visitors will encounter portraits, photographs, correspondence, and university records that help tell the story of T.C. Steele’s time at Indiana University. These materials offer insight into the people, relationships, and institutional history that shaped both the artist and the campus. It’s a reminder that art doesn’t exist in isolation, it’s part of a larger story.

Opening April 17 at McCalla
**Special thanks to our colleagues at IU Archives for the archival materials.

You saw Showalter Fountain all over your feed this season.

When IU football made history, so did the fountain, even the fish took a break for conservation. 🐟

Now it’s our turn.

We’re raising funds to preserve Showalter Fountain so it can keep being the heart of campus, for celebrations, traditions, and future Hoosier moments.
