Native Tongue: Native American Works from the Collection
June 25 - August 14, 2011

Native Tongue: Native American Works from the Collection follows the presentation of the 1976 Kent Bicentennial Portfolio, which challenged 20th century artists to portray a contemporary idea of independence to further the conversation. Several artists in the Portfolio asserted that independence is a complex topic and is often achieved through the expense or sacrifice of another entity.

Native Tongue builds on this narrative by exploring and presenting the Fort Wayne Museum of Art's Collections of traditional Native American artifacts as well as contemporary artworks by artists of Native American descent. Works by Woody Wilson Crumbo, Maria Martinez, Truman Lowe, Fritz Scholder, Duane Slick, and Jaune Quick-to-See Smith are joined by traditional art forms such as baskets, pottery and weavings from the Hopi, Acoma, Maricopa, Pima, Akimel, O'Odham and Navajo cultures, among others.

Hours:
Tuesday- Saturday - 11:00am - 6:00pm
Thursday - 11:00am - 8:00pm
Sunday - 12:00 - 5:00pm
