Past Events
Brookville through the Artist's Eye
October 16th - November 13th 2009
Monday - Friday 8:30am - 4:00pm
Each year, artists gather in Brookville to paint the beautiful landscapes, open spaces, and quaint homes in an event called the Brookville Paint Out. As a supplement and inspiration to this annual gathering of artists, the Richmond Art Museum has produced an exhibit of historical paintings of Brookville by Hoosier Group Artists including J. Ottis Adams and T.C. Steele which will be hung in the Franklin County Courthouse. The exhibition will provide interesting insights into Brookville’s past, and telling images that leave little though as to why many artists chose to paint Brookville and the surrounding area.
Bringing the art of past and present together, an unveiling of four paintings by Dan Woodson which will be permanently housed in the Franklin County Courthouse will also take place on Friday, October 16th during the opening reception.
