    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR INDIAN ARTS AND CRAFTS BOARD Southern Plains Indian Museum 801 EAST CENTRAL BLVD., ANADARKO, OK 73005 To feature Eric Tippeconnic in a Special Exhibition FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ANADARKO, OKLAHOMA: The Southern Plains Indian Museum, administered by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, U.S. Department of the Interior, will feature an exhibit of artwork by Eric Tippeconnic. The exhibition will run from July 15 to September 2, 2016. The exhibition is free and open to the public. Eric Tippeconnic, an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation of Oklahoma, is a talented painter. He holds a Masters of Arts from the University of Colorado, Denver, and is presently a PhD candidate in Native American History at the University of New Mexico. In addition to his career as a full time visual artist, Eric is a Lecturer in the History Department at California State University, Fullerton. He currently resides in Los Angles, California with his family. As a self-taught painter, Eric credits both his father’s Comanche heritage and his mother’s Danish culture with sparking his interest in art at an early age. His artistic process begins with revisiting stories he was told as a child, reading historical documents, and examining photographs. Through these oral traditions and media he finds inspiration for his bold and vibrant paintings. Another signature of Eric’s work is a sense of movement in his subjects. The motion he depicts, along with his use of bright colors, represents the evolution of his Comanche cultures’ ability to adapt and thrive in the contemporary world.

  • Agrarian Spirit in the Homestead Era Celebrates Legacy of Agrarian Art and Culture
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Agrarian Spirit in the Homestead Era celebrates legacy of Agrarian Art and Culture ST. JOSEPH, MO – April 2, 2021—The Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art is honored to present the very first public exhibition of artwork from collectors Mark and Carol Moseman. Agrarian Spirit in the Homestead Era: Artwork from the Moseman Collection of Agrarian Art features a selection of 60 paintings, drawings, and sculptures depicting the people, places, and daily activities of the 1850s to the 1940s. The exhibition will be on view from Saturday, April 17 to Sunday, June 6, 2021. An opening reception will be held on Friday, April 16, 2021 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. This reception is free and open to the public. Masks and social distancing will be required. Mark and Carol Moseman, from David City, Nebraska, organized their collection to reveal epic change in agrarian life from homesteading in the1850s, evolving into an exodus from the land in the1940s. Artwork included in the Moseman Collection influenced both immigrant and American pioneers seeking liberty and an agrarian democracy, longing for a “Jeffersonian Ideal.” “I hope the exhibition may also cause visitors to think about how our democracy should be acting today in our ongoing responsibility to care for the land that sustains us all,” says Mark Moseman. Agrarian Spirt in the Homestead Era features major European and North American artists alike, including Jean-Francois Millet, Diego Rivera, John Steuart Curry, Winslow Homer, and Harvey Dunn. Following its closing on June 6, 2021 at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art, the Agrarian Spirit in the Homestead Era exhibition will travel to the Great Plains Art Museum at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln for a subsequent exhibition from July 2 to October 23, 2021.
