Dear ____:
As President of the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites (ISMHS). I am continually amazed by
the contributions of Hoosiers to our world. Some are household names like John Wooden or Eli Lilly;
others are not, like Levi and Catharine Coffin or May Wright Sewall.
One of these Hoosiers, Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Bill Foley — whose exhibition Art Meets
News you can see on display until July 19th
— has won several national and international awards and
worked on assignments in 47 countries. Foley’s work has spanned continents, subjects and decades.
He has brought major news stories to the world and covered everything from political upheaval
to celebrities.
It’s the contributions of Hoosiers like Bill Foley that the ISMHS wants to share with other Hoosiers
and visitors from around the world; however, creating an exhibition like this is not easy work.
It took more than two years for Art Meets News to come to life. From initial conversations between
curators Katherine Gould and Mark Ruschman came years of work involving dozens of people. They
worked with Bill to select the right images, researched photojournalism, the political history of the
Middle East, and Bill Foley himself. Other departments created the marketing, secured funding,
created a layout for the exhibition, built the frames and cases, and promoted the exhibition so the
public could learn about this amazing Hoosier’s work.
As a public-private partnership the ISMHS is dependent on individual supporters like you to bring
these incredible Hoosier stories to life. Funding from the state keeps our doors open, the lights on
and our 12 locations staffed, but it is your support that allows us to create exhibitions like Art Meets
News to tell the story of the Hoosier state to the world.
I would like to thank you for your continued generous support. It is supporters like you that help us
provide free school field trips to all Indiana K-12 schools while fulfilling our mission to celebrate, explore
and steward all that is truly wondrous about Indiana. I hope that you will join me today in further
supporting the ISMHS so that we can continue to tell these amazing stories of Indiana to the next
generation of Hoosiers and visitors from around the world.
Sincerely,
Tom King
President & CEO
