A Sense of Beauty: Showcasing the Power and Beauty in Native Art

Where: Eiteljorg Museum – Indianapolis, IN

When: Through August 4, 2019

What: “Our new special exhibition will feature stunning installations of contemporary and customary Native American artworks collected over the past 30 years. Many have rarely or never been on display.

See contemporary and customary Native art – baskets, pottery, textiles, jewelry and glass – in innovative beautiful installations. Enjoy a “tree” of jewelry, a “waterfall” of baskets and a “whirlwind” of weavings. These extraordinary installations will emphasize the aesthetic beauty of the pieces and engage the senses. Many of the pieces have been collected through the Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellowship and Indian Market and Festival, or have been donated to the museum by the artists, art collectors or patrons.” Text courtesy of the Eiteljorg Museum. www.eiteljorg.org.
