OLLI members will visit two art exhibits on Rose-Hulman’s campus:
Neil Garrison’s exhibit and the Tri Kappa Art Collection.

Most of Garrison’s work can be categorized under the umbrella of surrealism and a literary style known as “Portmanteau,” which combines two or more unrelated images in order to achieve unique and sometimes whimsical results. He also likes to create original images by joining words and images.

The Tri-Kappa Art Collection of Indiana artists is valuable and unique. Started in 1932, the collection contains over 100 artworks by almost as many artists. The value of the collection has increased since then. After years of traveling all over the state, it was found necessary to permanently house the collection. As a result of an all-chapter poll in 1973, the chapters voted to loan nearly every painting to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. The works would be reframed and restored if necessary, insured, and hung permanently in the John Logan Library, which is hailed as a fire-proof building. A few paintings have been added to the collection in the library since 1973
