University Collections

Today’s the day.

Capturing the Campus opens today at University Collections at McCalla.

Step into Indiana University’s past through the work of T.C. Steele and explore a campus that looks both familiar and surprisingly different.

525 E. 9th Street ~ 4:00–6:00 PM ~ Free and open to the public

Join us for an evening of art, history, and discovery.

The Indiana University campus you know today is only part of the story.

In the early 20th century, artist T.C. Steele painted landscapes of IU that captured a very different environment, one shaped by growth, change, and new possibilities.

Some of the places he painted still exist. Others, like the old power plant once located where the Biddle Hotel stands today, have completely disappeared.

Capturing the Campus offers a rare opportunity to see these transformations through art and archival materials, bringing IU’s past into conversation with its present. ~ Opening April 17
