Celebrating "Dripping Earth: Cannupa Hanska Luger" Monthly Nights at The Joslyn events are evenings for art immersion. Come out for art talks, art making, special programs, and tasty food and drinks (for purchase). Celebrate artistic creativity today as we spend time in the newly-opened ambitious and immersive exhibition, "Dripping Earth: Cannupa Hanska Luger." Luger’s work draws inspiration from his ancestral connection to the Northern Plains while also looking to the future in imaginative ways.
A look at the fun this month from 5–8 pm:
• Begin at our Welcome Table in the Hawks Pavilion! Pick up a program and map for the evening. We can let you know about membership opportunities, upcoming programs, our Bloomberg Connects digital guide, and Art Card self-guide resources. We also can help with any accessibility needs.
• Our Curator Conversation program*, 6-6:45 pm, will focus on an important theme in Luger’s work, the Plains bison, with guest speaker Chris Helzer, Director of Science and Stewardship at The Nature Conservancy in Nebraska. Helzer will share his photography while speaking on the ecology of bison and their roles in and interactions with prairies
• Join us for an all-ages presentation called "We Are the Buffalo and the Buffalo Are Us!" by Renee Sans Souci, an Umoⁿhoⁿ educator
• In the studio, create your own work of art.
• Check out our Art Cart station, with opportunities to touch hands-on materials and talk about art with our friendly Gallery Volunteers.
• Drop-In Sketching! We have all the materials you need for sketching—a great way to slow down and look carefully at what you see.
• The Founder’s Room is designated as a quiet space for this event, stocked with an array of books and games.
• Due to the generous support of Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program, "Dripping Earth: Cannupa Hanska Luger," is free to all from 4-8 pm today; always free to Joslyn members.
• Don’t forget to check out more great spaces—The Cafe offers food and drink for sale. The Shop has beautiful art items for all ages and interests. If you are part of an intergenerational group, be sure to visit Art Works: A Place for Curiosity, an interactive space with nine different art activity stations (children must be accompanied by adults).
