Visitor Guide &

Visitor Guide & Map Highlights for July - Sept. 2013

Welcome to the Heard Museum! For more than 80 years, the Heard Museum has attracted visitors from around the globe who come to learn about the arts and cultures of the Native peoples of the Americas. We hope you enjoy this oasis of Spanish Colonial architecture with courtyards, water features and sculpture gardens. The Heard Museum, which has more than 130,000 square feet of galleries, classrooms and performance space, is known worldwide for its exhibits and programs celebrating Native artists, and for its Shop, which provides the opportunity to purchase museum- quality, authentic American Indian artworks.

The Heard Museum actively collects and exhibits American Indian art, from centuries-old drawings and pottery to contemporary paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, textiles and photography. The Heard is nationally and internationally recognized for the quality of its exhibits, which provide insight into the cultures and histories of Native people, and for the sensitivity of its presentation and interpretation of American Indian art.

Our changing exhibit schedule and slate of annual festivals mean there is always something interesting to see and do at the Heard. Plan to have lunch in our Courtyard Café, which has received rave reviews; visit our Museum Shop and our Bookstore; or ask us about private use of our facility for business events or family gatherings.

Our staff hopes you enjoy your visit. Whether you are a visitor or a resident of Phoenix, we hope you will consider joining the museum. Members receive free admission year round; a 10% discount in our Shops, Cafés and on online sales; a subscription to our magazine; and invitations to special events. And most important, you will be helping to support this very special museum.

Sincerely, ON THE COVER: Thomas “Breeze” Marcus (Tohono O’odham) and Lalo Cota (Mexican), “Phoenix Rising,” mural, 2012.

Lee Peterson Interim Director and CEO Heard Museum

6 LETTER July, Aug., Sept. – 2013 MUSEUM NEWS & EVENTS MEET THE HEARD’S NEW DIRECTOR James Pepper Henry has been named as the Heard Museum’s director and CEO. Henry comes to the Heard after a successful six-year tenure at the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, Alaska’s premier art, history and science institution. There, he oversaw the completion of the museum’s $110 million, 80,000-square-foot expansion, including the debut of the new Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center exhibition hall and the new Imaginarium Discovery Center.

“We are very pleased to announce that Jim Pepper Henry will become the new director of the Heard Museum,” said Heard Museum Board of Trustees Chair Mark Bonsall. “An extensive national search was conducted to find the person who will lead us into the future.”

“I am honored to have been selected as the next director and CEO of the Heard Museum, one of the premier institutions of American Indian art and culture and an American treasure,” said Pepper Henry. “I look forward to working with the board, staff and community to present exciting exhibitions and programs, expand its audiences and steward the Heard into a new era.”

Pepper Henry formerly served as an associate director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) where, for nearly 10 years, he managed a wide variety of American Indian community-oriented programs, services, and traveling exhibitions. Pepper Henry played a pivotal role in the establishment and launch of NMAI, located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., that opened to the public in 2004.

Pepper Henry is a member of the Kaw Nation of Oklahoma and Muscogee Creek Nation. He is co-founder and president of the Kanza Ilóshka Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to the perpetuation of the cultural life-ways and traditions of the Kaw people.

He is a graduate of the University of Oregon and a recipient of the University’s prestigious Council for Minority Education Leadership Award. He is also a graduate of the Museum Leadership Institute at the Getty Center in Los Angeles.

Pepper Henry will assume his duties on August 5. Hear about our new director’s ideas and plans for the Heard at the Heard Museum Guild’s monthly meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 10:30 a.m. in the Steele Auditorium.

8 NEWS & EVENTS July, Aug., Sept. – 2013 “GEORGIA O’KEEFFE IN NEW MEXICO: ARCHITECTURE, KATSINAM AND THE LAND” MAKES STOP IN NATIONWIDE TOUR AT THE HEARD Opening Sept. 28, 2013; Through Jan. 12, 2014

This exhibit, organized by the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe., N.M., with appropriate Hopi katsina dolls curated by the Heard, focuses on O’Keeffe’s (1887-1986) experiences as she made New Mexico her part-time, later full-time, home, which inspired her as she expanded her visual vocabulary and broadened the concept of American Modernism.

The Heard will be incorporating appropriate katsina dolls (katsina tithu) into the exhibit with interpretation from one of the exhibit advisors, Alph Secakuku (Hopi), who is the author of the Heard’s Following the Sun and Moon publication, said Dr. Ann Marshall, the Heard’s vice president for curation and education.

“This is an opportunity for the Heard’s visitors to see O’Keeffe’s approach to subject matter taken up by Hopi artists past and present,” Marshall said.

O’Keeffe began spending part of the year living and working in New Mexico in 1929, a pattern she rarely altered until 1949. She then made Northern New Mexico her permanent home three years after the death of her husband, celebrated photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who was America’s first advocate of modern art.

O’Keeffe was inspired to paint and draw New Mexico’s distinctive churches, crosses, folk art, representations of katsinam (carved and painted representations of Hopi and Pueblo spirit beings, also called kachinas), as well as the astonishingly beautiful, painted desert that surrounded her Ghost Ranch house.

The exhibit opens to the public Saturday, Sept. 28.

Every Picture Tells a Story Learn about how the vegetation and local wildlife of seven different geographical regions influence and inspire Native artists in this hands-on and family-friendly exhibit.

10 EXHIBITS July, Aug., Sept. – 2013 We Are! Arizona’s First People Discover each of Arizona’s 21 federally recognized tribal communities. Hear Arizona’s Native peoples explain their histories, cultures and discuss their futures in their own voices. This exhibit is a celebration of our Native people’s triumph over adversity and their return to vibrant, growing communities.

Remembering Our Indian School Days: The Boarding School Experience This powerful exhibit immerses visitors into the story of American Indian children who were forced by the federal government to attend residential boarding schools hundreds of miles away from home. This exhibit examines the system of off-reservation Indian boarding schools, which separated children from their families and stripped them of their cultural identity and language.

Around the World: The Heard Museum Collection Explore the cultural traditions of Native peoples from around the world in this exhibit of artwork from North and South America, Africa and Oceania. Much of the work on display is from the original collection of Dwight and Maie Heard. Also featured are important works from donors such as Byron Harvey III that have had a significant role in shaping the museum’s collection.

N. Scott Momaday: Art and Poetry This exhibit pairs together paintings, monoprints and writings by N. Scott Momaday (Kiowa), a Pulitzer Prize- winning author and playright. The result is a powerful exhibit that blends his varied works of art together.

American Indian Veterans National Memorial Service and sacrifice spanning more than three centuries are honored in the first and only known national memorial to American Indian veterans of many conflicts. The memorial, located outside the Berlin Gallery, contains panels describing the devotion of American Indian soldiers to their country and includes several heroic sculptures.
