SUMMARY:OPENING DAY: Ginny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day\nGinny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination\nSaturday\, October 14 | 10 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nView the Museum’s newest exhibition\, Ginny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination. \nGinny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination combines traditional sculpture with augmented reality (AR). By using technology to overlay digital information onto sculptural objects\, two disparate environments are portrayed. The setting is an apocalyptic landscape far in the future. The initial environment consists of five landmasses\, which support the glass stumps. Except for the painted shelf mushrooms and tree rings on the stumps and logs\, the scene is colorless. The landmasses surround a sixth rocky outcropping that features a large fiberglass stump. The central stump sprouts beautifully grotesque bronze\, then glass appendages. This improbable growth has survived the devastation to create a new botany. \n“Other than the central stump\, the landscape appears at first glance to be barren. Yet\, upon viewing the tree rings aided by AR technology a second environment is revealed. Plants appear (both fruit and flowers) which have evolved from existing flora. They have developed dramatic appendages and the skills necessary to adapt and flourish in this radically different environment. From accessing nutrients in ways that symbiotically improve their surrounding conditions\, to cultivating protections from new threats\, these adaptations are unexpected\, beautiful\, and optimistic. This is nature reimagining itself. The imagination cannot be exterminated. It just recreates itself.” —Ginny Ruffner \nGinny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination is organized by the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Generous support for this exhibition is provided by Art Bridges\, the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative\, Elizabeth and James Eisenstein\, Ed and Kathy Fries\, Shelby and Frederick Gans\, James Renwick Alliance\, Colleen and John Kotelly\, Betty and Whitney MacMillan\, Jacqueline B. Mars\, Kim and Jon Shirley Foundation\, and Myra and Harold Weiss. \n   \n  \nThank you\, Sponsors!\nPresident’s Circle Sponsors:\nDee and Richard Kowallik \nArtist’s Circle Sponsors:\nCarol and Jim Tevepaugh

SUMMARY:Lecture & Preview Party for The Age of Armor: Treasures from the Higgins Armory Collection at the Worcester Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Lecture & Preview Party with Jeffrey Forgeng for The Age of Armor: Treasures from the Higgins Armory Collection at the Worcester Art Museum\n\nThursday\, November 9 | 6 – 8 p.m.\nEnjoy an exclusive first look at The Age of Armor: Treasures from the Higgins Armory Collection at the Worcester Art Museum before it opens to the public. Jeffrey Forgeng\, Curator of Arms and Armor and Medieval Art at the Worcester Art Museum\, will lead the event with a lecture. \nFrom the warriors of ancient Greek legends\, to the knights of the Middle Ages\, to the superheroes of today’s popular culture\, the idea of personal body armor has an enduring hold on the human imagination. Armor is as old as human civilization\, and has been used in various forms in societies around the globe\, but full suits of articulated steel plates were made only in Europe\, and only for a brief time in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. This exhibition explores the story of armor in its golden age. \nSuits of armor are among the most popular objects with museumgoers\, but there are few significant collections of armor in the Americas. In 2014\, the Worcester Art Museum acquired the Higgins Armory Collection. While most of this rare collection is in storage awaiting the creation of a dedicated arms and armor gallery\, there is a unique opportunity to share these objects with a national and international public. Visitors will discover the diverse and often surprising stories embedded in these powerful objects. Far from the ungainly exoskeleton we often imagine today\, the suit of armor was made to be sleek and stylish—painstakingly engineered\, elegantly designed\, and treasured as the expression of its owner’s taste\, sophistication\, and prowess. \nThis exhibition was organized by the Worcester Art Museum.

SUMMARY:Opening Day - "Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass"
DESCRIPTION:October 25\, 2024 – January 12\, 2025 | Huth\, Boeing\, Salmon & Haws Galleries\n\nClearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass is a first-of-its-kind\, groundbreaking exhibition giving broader and overdue recognition to a wide range of contemporary Native American and indigenous\, Pacific Rim artists working in glass. \nThe stunning art in the exhibition embodies the intellectual content of Native traditions\, newly illuminated by the unique properties that can only be achieved by working with glass. Whether reinterpreting traditional stories and designs in the medium of glass\, or expressing contemporary issues affecting tribal societies\, Native glass artists have created a content-laden body of work. These artists have melded the aesthetics and properties inherent in glass art with their cultural ways of knowing. \nA secondary focus of the exhibition—a historical perspective—presents the fascinating story of how glass art came to Indian country\, mainly through the pioneering work of Lloyd Kiva New (Cherokee)\, a founder of the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA)\, and of Dale Chihuly\, who taught the first Native artists to work in glass. While Chihuly is not Native\, he has long wielded a major influence on American Indian glass artists\, and his own art has (in turn) taken inspiration from the designs and shapes of Native basketry and textiles. This comprehensive exhibition is the first of its kind to salute and document the sublime flowering of Native glass art. \n\n \nDr. Letitia Chambers \n\n  \nVisit: hsvmuseum.org/clearly-indigenous-native-visions-reimagined-in-glass-october-25-2024-january-12-2025/ \nDr. Letitia Chambers\, former CEO of the Heard Museum in Phoenix\, Arizona\, curated the exhibition together with artist and museum consultant Cathy Short (Citizen Potawatomi Nation)\, and the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (MIAC) in Santa Fe\, New Mexico\, which originated this seminal exhibition. \nThe studio glass art movement began in the 1960’s and has developed into a significant genre of fine art.  The contemporary Native American arts movement also began in the 1960s with the founding of the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe.  The book\, Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass\, tells the story of how these two movements came together in the 1970’s when Dale Chihuly\, perhaps the best-known American glass artist and an innovator in the field\, set up a glass art teaching program at IAIA.  Over the nearly 50 years since\, American Indian artists have created an extraordinary body of glass art.  The Clearly Indigenous exhibit showcases the works of the leading Native glass artists. \nClearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass was originated by The Museum of Indian Arts and Culture\, Santa Fe\, New Mexico. The traveling exhibition was curated by Dr. Letitia Chambers\, and is toured by International Arts & Artists. \nOrganized by International Arts & Artists \nLeadership Sponsor\n\nAdditional Support\nHuntsville Museum of Art Guild and Alabama State Council on the Arts
