This we’ll welcome curatorial coordinator Anne Hyland for an in-person program on Nov. 29 at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Renwick Gallery. She’ll provide an overview of the exhibition, “Many Wests: Artists Shape an American Idea,” which brings together works of 48 diverse contemporary artists who reveal a broader and more inclusive representation of the West than the often-romanticized images we see.

Featured in the exhibition is Wendy Red Star’s (Apsáalooke/Crow), "Four Seasons" series: "Winter," 2006 (shown below).

Ideas about the American West, both in popular culture and in commonly accepted historical narratives, are often based on a past that never was, and fail to consider important events that occurred. A new exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, "Many Wests: Artists Shape an American Idea,....

Here’s a snapshot from our small-group walking tour last Friday exploring some of Washington DC’s grandest streets. During the late 1800s, Washington’s movers and shakers strolled the streets of Dupont Circle, where Massachusetts Avenue was the city’s premier residential address.

However, during and after the Great Depression, many of the neighborhood’s magnificent mansions were sold and converted into embassies, social clubs, and offices. Pictured below is Anderson House, which was built as the winter residence of Larz Anderson, an American diplomat, and his wife, Isabel towards the end of America’s gilded age.

Information for the event courtesy of Smithsonian Associates:

Longtime collaborators Audrey Hall and Chase Reynolds Ewald have been following in the hoofprints of bison since their first childhood visits to Yellowstone National Park. Their book Bison: Portrait of an Icon celebrates the species through Hall’s photography and Ewald’s words.

Join the pair as they share their tales and their journey, offering a visual tour of the mountains and plains and touching down in spectacular and often-hidden locations throughout the mountain states. They cover the highlights of the bison story: its history, cultural significance, near decimation and remarkable comeback; introduce some memorable characters; and share some surprising tidbits about these all-American beasts.

: Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian houses one of the world’s largest and most diverse collections of its kind. The museum’s sweeping curvilinear architecture, indigenous landscaping, and exhibitions, all designed in collaboration with tribes and communities from across the hemisphere, combine to give visitors from around the world the sense and spirit of Native America.

Four hundred years ago, the Chesapeake Bay region was abundant in forests, wetlands, meadows, and Algonquian peoples’ croplands. The National Museum of the American Indian restores these environments and is home to more than 27,000 trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants representing 145 species. Visitors to this museum can walk through and learn about the history, legacy, and stories of American Indians across the nation.
