The Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, Indiana has recreated the studio of Victor Higgins and placed one of his plein air landscapes near a larger studio oil painting based on that sketch. The display brings attention to an Indiana native who settled permanently in Taos, New Mexico and became a member of the Taos Society of Artists in 1917.

On November 14, 2011, PleinAir magazine editor Steve Doherty judged the entries for the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association’s (IPAPA) “Painting Indiana III,” a competition that will result in a traveling exhibition and a book to be published by Indiana University Press.
