Art Collection
Over the years, the Endowment has acquired a collection of important Indiana paintings that were in danger of leaving the state. The collection includes paintings by William Merritt Chase, members of the Hoosier Group, John Elwood Bundy and others. The paintings are generally displayed at the Endowment's offices on North Meridian Street in Indianapolis but in 2003-05, an exhibition was mounted that allowed a number of the paintings to travel to several museums around Indiana.

Famous quotes containing the words art and/or collection:
“The art of leadership ... consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention.... The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.”
—Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
“Bolkenstein, a Minister, was speaking on the Dutch programme from London, and he said that they ought to make a collection of diaries and letters after the war. Of course, they all made a rush at my diary immediately. Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a romance of the “Secret Annexe.” The title alone would be enough to make people think it was a detective story.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
