Museum Of American Indians And Western Art
An Indianapolis museum that my husband and I are proud to be members of is the Eitlejorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. Located at 500 W. Washington St, Indianapolis, Indiana the museum is now a part of the White River State Park. Housed within its magnificent walls is the extensive collection of Native American Art and Western American art from the businessman and philanthropist Harrison Eitlejorg.

Taos Society Of Artists
Collection shown in the Eitlejorg Museum
In the gallery of paintings done by the Taos Society of Artists, visitors will see exquisite work depicting Native Americans in a variety of scenes. Some of my favorite artists on display include: Ernest Blumenschein, Buck Dunton, Bert Geer Phillips, and Joseph Henry Sharp.
In 1915 a group of artists formed this society to promote their art of New Mexico and Southwestern paintings. At one time there were 19 members and the society stayed active until about 1927.
