The National Art Museum of Sport (NAMOS) will open the Football Invitational exhibit at NAMOS on July 28, 2011. The exhibit will feature nearly fifty paintings, sculptures and photographs from many of the top sport artists from around the world.

The eyes of the football world will turn to Indianapolis this February when Super Bowl XLVI will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The inaugural Big Ten Championship game will also be in Indianapolis on December 3, 2011. Until then, the eyes of the world can celebrate the great athletes and moments of the game of football at NAMOS’ Football Invitational exhibit. The exhibit will celebrate the fine art depictions of professional, collegiate, and pick-up football.

Some of the great artists included in this year’s exhibit are: Benjamin Blackburn, Chris Bucher, David Burnett, Tony Capparelli, Donna Carr, Charles Fazzino, James Fiorentino, Bart Forbes, Troy Hayes, Bob Hogan, Ken Kalman, Larry Klukaszewski, Patrick Mack, Marc Mellon, John Melvin, Bill Menzel, LeRoy Neiman, John Oilar, Debbie Sampson, Joe Sinnott, Dan Tearle, and Elaine Wolfe.

The Football Invitational artists were selected for their excellence in creating fine art and depicting emotion and motion within the great American game of football.

The exhibit closes February 29, 2012.
