Join the Nation Museum of the American Indian. Become a member!!!

Dear Friend,  For hundreds of years, many people’s understanding of Indigenous peoples, past and present, was shaped by myths, misinformation, and stereotypes.  Since its founding in 1989, the National Museum of the American Indian has challenged these harmful narratives and encouraged greater cultural understanding through dynamic exhibitions, engaging events, and innovative educational programs.  All the museum has done to honor and celebrate Indigenous arts, cultures, and histories—and everything we have planned for 2023 and beyond—would be impossible without the partnership of dedicated friends like you.  I want to personally thank you for supporting the museum in its efforts to tell the true stories of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The dedication and sincere generosity of our valued members has been instrumental in fulfilling the museum’s mission, and I want to share my gratitude as well as my excitement for what’s ahead of us this year. From new exhibitions like Robert Houle: Red is Beautiful, which celebrates more than fifty years of this artist’s remarkable career, to our ongoing education initiatives like Native Knowledge 360°, which brings Native perspectives into the classroom through historically accurate educational materials, your generous support enables the museum to continue pushing boundaries and fostering a deeper understanding of Native peoples—in collaboration, consultation, and cooperation with their communities.  Together, let’s continue to share the true story of the beauty, resilience, and richness of Indigenous cultures, arts, and histories.  On behalf of the museum, thank you for all you’ve done.  Sincerely,  Danielle Lote (Cherokee Nation) Associate Director of Advancement  P.S. If you haven’t had the chance to participate in our 2023 Membership Month campaign, please accept this invitation to become a member of the museum today. We’ve set a goal ofwelcoming 80 new members and raising $80,000 by March 31 and we need your help to get there. Thank you for helping us to inspire more people through the Native story!

Louis Stern Fine Art presents: Mokha Laget: New Perspectives, March 25- May 6, 2023

Mokha Laget (b. 1959) Homage to Gris, 2023      vinyl emulsion on shaped canvas 48 x 54 inches;  121.9 x 137.2 centimeters Louis Stern Fine Arts is pleased to present Mokha Laget: New Perspectives. These recent iterations of the artist’s shaped canvases inject arcs and arches into their brilliantly colored geometries, a departure from the pure angularity which has characterized much of her previous work. Each painting presents a unique perceptual puzzle alongside a medley of potential solutions in the same moment of observation. They are active and alive, in full sensory dialogue with the perceiver, igniting a flurry of implications and contradictions within the eye and mind.    The considered interplay of color relationships and painted and physical geometric forms imply ambiguous light sources and incompatible perspectives which subvert the expected behavior of volume and space. Strange architectures and suggestions of movement advance and retreat, materialize and then dissolve, as the mind works to resolve the competing stimuli – a conversation between seeing and comprehending that never quite arrives at a straightforward conclusion.    The addition of circular forms creates new possibilities, suggesting the warping of light, rocking motions, and deformations of structure that can only be accomplished by a non-angular shape. The matte surface of the paintings is bound tightly to the underlying canvas, displaying and integrating the natural tooth of the cotton substrate. Light is readily absorbed into this soft texture, intensifying the works’ rich colors and amplifying their spatial relationships by reducing reflective interference. Laget’s paintings are spring-loaded with potential energy, residing within the fleeting spaces between looking and recognition, understanding and uncertainty.    Please join us for an artist reception  Saturday, March 25 from 4 - 7PM.   Preview Exhibition View Exhibition Catalogue Louis Stern Fine Arts 9002 Melrose Avenue West Hollywood, CA  90069 Contact 310-276-0147 info@louissternfinearts.com  www.louissternfinearts.com Follow us on Instagram (@louissternfinearts) and Twitter (@lsternfinearts) for updates and additional material.

Asbury Park New Jersey: 8Th Annule Lobster Run 5K April, 28, 2023!

Register Today The Lobster Run 5K is on Saturday, April 29   Spring has finally sprung on the Jersey Shore. But we don't need a weatherman to forecast fun for the 8th Annual Lobster Run.  In addition to a beautiful location on the Asbury Park boardwalk and fabulous buffet lunch from Langosta Lounge, we've got music, beer, and the opportunity for you to work up a sweat with people who share your love for the coast and, possibly, dressing up as a lobster.    Proceeds from the event go to fund Littoral Society programs and projects. Since 1961, the Society has been caring for the coast in New Jersey and beyond. Based on Sandy Hook, we see the beauty and feel the energy that draws people to coastal communities. We work to protect and restore that splendor. We also strive to bring people onto the sand and into the water so they can gain a deeper understanding of how nature works on our beaches and in our bays.   You can register to run/walk with or without the buffer brunch, or join us just for the party. Use the Extra button to add a lobster salad roll to your brunch (available only for registration types that include the meal).   The course is suitable for all ages. Parking will be available in a lot across the street from Langosta and along the streets of Asbury Park. The event is rain or shine, registration is not refundable. T-shirts will be included for race/walk participants only and are guaranteed for those who sign up before April 15.    If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Lindsay McNamara, Director of Development at the American Littoral Society, at lindsay@littoralsociety.org or 732-291-0055.
