A collection of articles, art and artists we admire and appreciate.

 The Indiana State Museum, in partnership with Crazy Indiana Style Artists (CISA) of Lake County, Ind., is presenting Still Crazy: 30th Anniversary of CISA, an art exhibition featuring more than 30 two- and three-dimensional works of original art by CISA chronicling their 30-year history.

The exhibit, on view July 2 through September 5, 2016, is a part of the museum’s bicentennial exhibition 200 Years of Indiana Art: A Cultural Legacy on view March 19 through October 2.

“The artists in this show represent some of Indiana’s most intriguing modern and contemporary pieces, which help to illustrate the more edgy side of visual arts development in Indiana,” said Mark Ruschman, chief curator of fine art at the State Museum. “This group, under the direction of graffiti installation artist ISH Muhammad, showcases the immense talent and diversity associated with the state.”

Items in the show range from large-scale imagery on canvas to jackets, videos, articles etc., chronicling the very best of graffiti as an art form.

CISA is Indiana’s oldest Latino artist cooperative and is nationally recognized for their work over the past 30 years.

The exhibition, presented in two galleries, is comprised of more than 100 two- and three-dimensional works by important early Indiana artists, providing an historical perspective. Additional works include modern and contemporary pieces illustrating the development of the visual arts in Indiana.

The exhibition is a signature project of the Indiana Bicentennial Commission with support from the Indiana Arts Commission.
