Art After Dark

Explore great works in the Museum collection led by one of the Museum’s fine docents.

This Open Studio will feature a fun introduction to weaving inspired by the Navajo and Pueblo peoples. Visitors will receive a cardboard loom and will be able to choose the materials to weave. The artist will provide instructions on how to weave as well as examples of different designs.

About the artist: Ingrid Sanchez creates prints, drawings, and installations that examine cultural and linguistic hybridism as a method of adaption and survival. In her ongoing project  Fragmentos, she intervenes walls with graphic and organic imagery arranged in mosaic-like collages. Reminiscent of building façades in Latin America, the work references different forms of visual expression that transpire in public space, such as contemporary graffiti and colonial-era baroque design

All Materials are included. Open to all ages and levels of artistic talent!

Smoke Signals “Smoke Signals,” marketed by Miramax as “the first feature film written, directed, and produced by Native Americans,” was a critical success and crowd favorite from its debut at the Sundance Film Festival in 1998, winning the Filmmaker’s Trophy for director Chris Eyre and the Audience Award there before its theatrical release that summer. Two decades years later, it’s not hard to see why “Smoke Signals” resonated: The movie is filled with humor, heart and genuine affection for its characters, hitting notes of sadness, introspection and well-earned catharsis.” - Variety

Smoke Signals screening will be outdoors in the Museum’s garden. In case of inclement weather, the film will be shown in the Stiller Auditorium.
