Stephen Edwards was elected as Vice President of the Brown County Artists Association. The Brown County Art Gallery was established by the early members of an important regional art colony who began exploring rural southern Indiana in the 1890s.These early artists had been trained in the best art schools of Europe and America and were attracted to the rolling hills of Brown County. It offered both dramatic landscapes and interesting people to serve as subjects for their paintings. In 1926, they formed the Brown County Art Gallery Artists Association and set up a gallery in a former grocery store donated by a patron. For over eight decades, the Gallery has managed to survive wars, depressions, recessions, fire and relocation, making it one of the oldest galleries in the United States. The Association features the work of Indiana’s top professional artists and their work is offered for sale on a daily basis. The collection changes four times a year and offers original work in all sizes and price ranges.

Stephen Edwards was accepted into the 90th Annual Indiana Artists Club Annual Juried Exhibit. The exhibit will run from April 1st through May 28 in the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. Thank you Shar Coulson who was the juror for the exhibit. She is an abstract painter who has been influenced by the interconnection between humanity and nature. "This is also the last exhibit that "Looking For Patch" will be shown before the public. The painting will be retired into my private collection if not sold at the exhibit. This is the first time it has been shown in the Indianapolis area since it was painted. And that doubles the honor of being in this particular show." ~ S Edwards
