Identity Crisis: American Self Portraits from Benjamin West to Cindy Sherman
Since Alexis de Tocqueville's seminal text in the 1830s criticizing the young United States, Americans have often been driven to validate themselves and their way of life. No where is this more obvious than in our visual arts, particularly the occurrence that the self-portrait in America is often as much about one?s context in society as one's self.
Bring your lunch or order a box lunch and have it waiting on you! The Museum will provide coffee, tea and light dessert; No reservations are required unless pre-ordering a box lunch.

Included in the dynamic range of art disciplines this year will be work from Mary Klopfer of USF, who will display her graphite and metal sculptures “Large Pod” and “Lighting Fly.” Nationally known printmaker, Jauneth Skinner, the new Interim Chair, Dept. of Visual Communication and Design at IPFW, will display a pair of digital prints. And emeritus IPFW instructors Norm Bradley and Don Kruse will exhibit newly created paintings and drawings.

YOU: Featured in black and white?
Journalist, Kayleen Reusser, is looking for a variety of artists in the Ft. Wayne area to feature in local newspapers.
If you would like to tell Fort Wayne about what you do . . . here’s your chance to go for it! - Emily Boller
From Kayleen Reusser:
I could use your help in writing about artists for the News-Sentinel newspaper Neighbors section and /or Religion section. I also write for the Ossian Sun Riser.
The Ossian paper has to feature people who live in the south part of the city with Waynedale the northern limit, then down to Ossian. The News-Sentinel newspaper can be just about any location in Allen County.
Could you send an email to people in your group, asking them to send me an email about themselves and their work, including a photo or two of their creations, if they’d be interested in me covering their work?
I can't guarantee I can use each one, but it would be helpful to have a number of people contact me for possible ideas. They should include their phone numbers also.

Renowned art galleries in the district include Habatat, Jean Albano, Aldo Castillo, Perimeter and Maya Polsky.
