SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: JJ Otero
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 16-28 for an opportunity to meet our spring Artist in Residence\, JJ Otero (Navajo/Hopi). JJ is an award-winning metalsmith\, woodworker\, painter\, musician\, and artist from New Mexico who approaches all his work with one philosophy- “This moment is perfect and there’s nothing lacking.” A former IT professional of 25 years\, art and music have always been part of JJ’s life. He began his art career full-time after discovering his love for woodworking when he moved back home in 2016 and created a workbench for his father and a cradleboard for his sister’s upcoming grandchild. After being encouraged by friends to enter art markets\, he was accepted into the Heard Museum Art Market and the SEEDS Art Market in 2018\, cementing his transition into a full-time artist. He has experimented with acrylic painting and woodworking but has shifted his focus to jewelry making over the past several years. \nDuring JJ’s residency\, stop by the museum for Spring Break drop-in art activities daily from March 18-20\, say hello and watch him work on his art in-person during one of his Open Studios on March 24\, 27\, or 28 from 1-4 p.m.\, or sign up for his bracelet stamping workshop on March 21 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. You will also have a chance to make your own stamped copper bracelet with JJ on March 28 from 10-11:30 a.m. Don’t miss your chance to meet such a highly skilled and accomplished artist! \nSchedule: \nMarch 17:\n10-11 a.m. Members-Only Coffee & Conversation with JJ Otero\nRegistration for members will be available soon! \nMarch 18:\n1-3 p.m. Spring Break drop-in activities\nRegistration not required.

In his current artistic pivot\, he has taken on metalsmithing with an intense drive to be the best he’s capable of despite such a late start in the arts. His journey has trekked through a successful\, award winning music career\, a prolific two year excursion into acrylic painting\, an intro to the Native American markets world through his beautifully crafted cradleboards\, and his current obsession with jewelry making – a true artist that never understood it until the last five years! \nIn 2018\, JJ Otero was accepted into the prestigious Heard Museum Art Market in Phoenix\, AZ as well as the SEEDS Art Market and Santa Fe Indian Market in Santa Fe\, NM. JJ’s philosophy guides all things in his life: This moment is perfect and there’s nothing lacking. With this deep abiding fire\, JJ’s unique stamping and texturing styles coupled with a relentless drive to be a well-known metalsmith is making his metalwork and personality stand out while he navigates an unexpected passion discovered in his ever-growing art career.

SUMMARY:Leon Jett Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this year’s Leon Jett Memorial Lecture\, honoring the legacy of Leon Jett\, the Eiteljorg Museum’s public programs manager from 1999 to 2007. Leon’s passion for inclusive programming ensured that every visitor to the museum could see themselves reflected in its art\, exhibitions\, and events. This annual lecture continues his mission by spotlighting the often-overlooked stories of historical and contemporary African Americans in the West. \nThis year\, we are thrilled to welcome Dr. Timothy E. Nelson\, a historian\, author\, professor\, and artist. Providing the most in-depth research on Blackdom to date\, he reframes the history\, focusing on the economic and social ambitions of Afro-Frontierists (Black pioneers). Dr. Nelson is digitally applying his theory of colonization within the digital frontier through various art forms\, including academic books\, trade books\, screenplays\, painting\, photography\, and videography. https://afrofrontier.com/ \nMany believed that Blackdom was simply abandoned. However\, new evidence shows that the scheme to build generational wealth continued to exist throughout the twentieth century in other forms. During Blackdom’s boomtimes\, in December 1919\, Blackdom Oil Company shifted town business from a regenerative agricultural community to a more extractive model. Nelson has uncovered new primary source materials that suggest for Blackdom a newly discovered third decade. This story has never been fully told or contextualized until now. \nReoriented to Mexico’s “northern frontier\,” one observes Black ministers\, Black military personnel\, and Black freemasons who colonized as part of the transmogrification of Indigenous spaces into the American West. Nelson’s concept of the Afro-Frontier evokes a “Turnerian West\,” but it is also fruitfully understood as a Weberian “Borderland.” Its history highlights a brief period and space that nurtured Black cowboy culture. While Blackdom’s civic presence was not lengthy\, its significance—and that of the Afro-Frontier—is an important window in the history of Afrotopias\, Black Consciousness\, and the notion of an American West. \nA book signing will immediately follow the talk and this discussion is included with the price of admission. All Indiana college\, university and trade school students receive FREE admission with their school ID. \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence David Martin: Live Demos
DESCRIPTION:Visitors can come see live demos of David’s work. \nAbout the artist: \nDavid Martin is a Pokagon Band Potawatomi living in South Bend\, IN. Born in 1973\, he was raised in a traditional Native American home. He started dancing and singing at powwows in his preteen years\, traveling across the country with his family’s drum group\, White Thunder\, now called Ribbon Town. His interest in art started as soon as he was able to hold a pencil\, and was encouraged by family and mentors to pursue his art. In 1996\, he was introduced to tattooing\, and it allowed him an income in an art-based business while working on his painting skills.
