The 59th Midwestern Invitational Exhibition of Fine Art
on the theme Camelot Revisited

18 June - 2 September 2018 in the Main and East Galleries and the M. Dorian Clemedtson Memorial Sculpture Court

Picture
EVERY YEAR on 18 June, The Rourke Art Gallery + Museum proudly presents the Midwestern Invitational Exhibition of Fine Art to celebrate the founding of Rourke Gallery (on 18 June 1960) and all of the artists and friends who have come to think of our art gallery + museum as home—as our founding director James T. O'Rourke would have it, "an oasis for art."

This year, we welcomed 70 artists work on the theme Camelot Revisited. There are kings, Kennedys, knights, castles, chalices, and many other wonders to behold!
