INTO LIGHT Project
January 25, 2025 - December 19, 2025
Old Capitol Museum - Hanson Humanities Gallery (ground floor)
The INTO LIGHT Project, a national non-profit, creates public exhibitions of original portraits and individual stories of people who have died from the disease of drug addiction in locations around the country. Their mission is to change the conversation about drug addiction through the power of original art and story.
INTO LIGHT recognizes the powerful influence of museums and galleries to host thought provoking conversation through art. The project selects one public academic museum or gallery in each state based on their ability to engage the community by building meaningful educational programming around the exhibit that addresses issues about the disease of addiction. The Old Capitol Museum has been chosen as the exhibit site in Iowa in 2025.
