The art show Environmental Justice in Indiana ran in May and June 2018 and has now drawn to a close. The Hoosier Chapter of the Sierra Club would like to thank everyone who participated, artists and visitors alike.
If you are an artist and you'd like to be contacted about the 2019 exhibition, please email rebecca.dien-johns@sierraclub.org and we will get in touch when we put out the call to artists.

You can still find and participate in our online children's gallery here.
