Indiana communities invited to apply to host Smithsonian exhibit

Statewide —Indiana cities with fewer than 15,000 residents are being offered the opportunity to host an exhibit from the world-famous Smithsonian through a program sponsored by Indiana Humanities.

Six communities will be selected through an application process to host Water/Ways, a national touring exhibit that highlights the role water plays in our daily lives and allows each host community to celebrate its unique connection to water. Applications should be submitted by tax-exempt organizations, such as museums, libraries, civic organizations, local governments or schools, representing their communities.

Selected venues will host the exhibit for six weeks each. To prepare, the hosts will receive extensive training, funding, and other resources from the Smithsonian and Indiana Humanities. Each host organization will also curate a unique section of the exhibit that explores its community’s relationship to water.

Organizations interested in serving as a host for the Water/Ways exhibit should complete an application, available by clicking here.  Applications are due Friday, Sept. 18, 2020.
