AMERICAN INDIAN ART
FROM FENIMORE ART MUSEUM: THE THAW COLLECTION OCTOBER 13 THROUGH DECEMBER 30
The great achievements of North America’s first artists are celebrated in American Indian Art from Fenimore Art Museum: The Thaw Collection, an exhibition that demonstrates the long-standing excellence of the aesthetic traditions of North America’s native peoples. Spanning the continent from the first millennium to the 20th century, the exhibition of more than 35 exceptional objects showcases masterpieces in various media—sculpture, painting, drawing, basketry, textiles, ceramics, and the decorative arts. Native Americans took great pleasure in the visual beauty of these objects made with imagination and skill, but they also prized qualities invisible in the finished work. These vary from place to place and may include the ritual correctness of gathering raw materials; sound construction and usefulness; the power that comes from an object’s conception in a vision or dream; or how often an object appears in performances, feasts, and ceremonies, during which oratory, dance, song, and movement give it animating force. For instance, a whelk shell neck ornament exquisitely carved by an unrecorded Caddoan artist between 1200 and 1350, depicts a figure involved in a ritual observance and was worn as a sign of status or office. In a more recent example, which dates to 1880-1881, the Sans Arcs Lakota artist, Black Hawk, created drawings of hunting, dance, warfare and ceremony. He used minimal outlining and animated his rendering with pattern, textured surfaces, and pale, translucent color. Art such as Black Hawk’s bears witness to Native American artists’ experimentation with the new materials, techniques, and imagery introduced by Euro-Americans. Such objects record artists’ ability to absorb without being absorbed, despite intense pressure to assimilate into Euro-American culture. They testify to their creators’ ingenuity and resilience, and to the importance of the arts in sustaining traditions that have not vanished but continue today stronger than ever. This selection of artistic landmarks is drawn entirely from the collection of Native North American art that was assembled by Eugene and Clare Thaw. Recognized as a leading dealer and collector of Old Master drawings and paintings, Eugene Thaw approached Native American material culture as fine art, applying the same exacting standards of connoisseurship here

as in other areas. Today, his collection of American Indian art encompasses more than 875 objects and is widely recognized as one of the most significant in the world. Discover the transcendent beauty of the choicest of these works of art on view for the first time for our Utica community. The exhibition is organized by Fenimore Art Museum, Cooperstown, New York, in collaboration with the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute. It is supported by a generous grant from the Eugene V. & Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust. 3

MANY THANKS TO MWPAI SUMMER INTERNS This summer, two students worked closely with MWPAI staff to obtain hands-on experience in the arts. Steph Adams, from Sherrill, is a junior at SUNY Geneseo majoring in Art History. Steph assisted with the sidewalk art show and worked with Curator of 19th-Century American Art Miranda Hofelt on an exhibition opening in 2019.

Performing Arts Events FOR KIDS AND FAMILIES BRADY RYMER AND THE LITTLE BAND THAT COULD
Monday, October 8, 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Columbus Day
Sinnott Family – Bank of Utica Auditorium For nearly 20 years, three-time Grammy Award nominee Brady Rymer has brought his unique brand of infectious, high-energy rock ‘n’ roll to children and families across the country, visiting schools, libraries, village greens, concert halls, and festivals with his longtime Little Band That Could. His trademark smile lights up his live performances and shines brightly in his eight award-winning albums, illuminating the joy he finds in bringing people together with his music. After a decade-long career with RCA Records jam band From Good Homes, recording and touring with acts from the Dave Matthews Band to Bob Dylan and Bob Weir’s Ratdog, Brady Rymer ventured into family music as he started his own family, releasing Good Morning, Gus in 2000. Since then he has released nine CDs, including the Grammy-nominated titles Press Play (2017), Just Say Hi! (2014) and Here Comes Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could (2008). His most recent album, Revvin’ Up the Reindeer, is a sleighful of songs to celebrate the holidays, Little Band That Could-style. Rymer’s rootsy, accordion-laced pop and rock music regularly wins critical acclaim and national awards including numerous Parents’ Choice Gold and NAPPA (National Parenting Publications) Gold
Awards, and has garnered him a growing fan base of enthusiastic families. When he’s not playing with his own band, Brady plays bass guitar with The Laurie Berkner Band and also performs a few select shows a year with his “grown-up” band From Good Homes. Admission is $8 for MWPAI members and $10 for the general public. Flexible subscriptions are also available. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the MWPAI Performing Arts Ticket Office, 797-0055 or 800-754-0797, or one hour prior to the performance at the door.
