Members Only Lecture: The Message is the Medium: Contemporary Art with Michael Vetter

Join Associate Curator of Contemporary Art, Michael Vetter, PhD, for a talk that will examine the contemporary artworks returning to storage and be among the first to hear about the exciting new works being installed for the exhibition’s next rotation. 

Don’t miss your last chance to see The Message is the Medium: Contemporary Art on Floor 2 of the Indianapolis Museum of Art before it temporarily closes for reinstallation on August 31. 

The exhibition reopens Friday, September 12 with a fresh mix of favorites from the IMA’s permanent collection and bold new additions. Beloved works like Towards One by Lee Krasner and Robert Indiana’s iconic LOVE painting return alongside exciting loans, including Big Blue Pink by Judy Chicago and Untitled (L.A.) by Felix Gonzalez-Torres.
