Event Details

 

Join us as we explore the National Museum of the American Indian!  Really cool things at this lil' museum ... Afterwards, we'll go eatin', drinkin', 'n merry-makin'.
**There will be NO guided tour: the Museum doesn't give them over the weekend.  It'll be just us lookin' around, but the people at the Museum told me everything is pretty self-explanatory and cool on its own.**
Exhibits
Fritz Scholder: Indian/Not Indian 

-- Features 135 paintings, works on paper, and sculptures drawn from major public and private collections

-- Includes the color-saturated canvases for which the artist is famous

-- Focuses on the artist's works from the 1980s and 1990s, when he stopped using overt Indian imagery and explored mythical beings, the afterlife, and the unknown.

Hosted By

Culture for the Non-Cultured



Do you live in New York City -- with tons of culture right in your own backyard -- but see Superman Returns and other blockbusters, stuff you could see anywhere? Culture for the Non-Cultured participates in 2-3 cultural activities per month -- including theater, art galleries, museums, walking tours, aquariums, and historical homes. Each event brings in 20-60 people. Usually, we eat afterwards ... because nothing builds community like sitting around a table full of calories! **It is policy that there are no refunds for events, unless they are postponed or cancelled, so make sure you can come to the event before you pay ...**
