WE WISH ALL OF YOU A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING |
We wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving time enjoying family, friends and traditions, and reflecting on the things for which we are thankful.
Here at The Indian Craft Shop, we have much to be thankful for... and this really begins with all of you. We thank you for your great support of the arts and the Shop - and for making our days brighter with your smiles, enthusiasm, visits, appreciation, and love of the arts. We are thankful for the beauty that surrounds us that is brought to the Shop through the creativity and energy of artists who transform metal, clay, fibers, stones and shell, among so many other materials, into objects of beauty to hold, wear or become part of our homes. The arts are tangible expressions of deep-rooted cultures -- they bring joy along with information that enriches our lives. We are so very thankful to all of you -- our patrons and artists - who bring such joy and meaning to our lives.

POSTERity: WPA's Art Legacy and America's Public Lands
On view April 8, 2014 - Spring 2015
From 1938 to 1941, the National Park Service employed artists via the Works Progress Administration (WPA) to produce silk screened promotional posters for national park sites. The U.S. Department of the Interior Museum has united for the first time six WPA originals and a full complement of the contemporary designs by Doug Leen which follow the tradition of the WPA poster project, for this visually stunning retrospective. Featured are nearly 50 classic posters associated with 36 national parks, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Interior Museum.
Many visitors have inquired whether the images within the Interior Museum's POSTERity exhibition are commercially available. Yes! Ranger Doug's Enterprises (www.rangerdoug.com) is the source for faithful silkscreen reproductions of WPA National Park serigraphs. Note cards and postcards are also available. Products from Ranger Doug's Enterprises are 100% made in the USA, and the company annually donates 1% of its gross sales back to the National Parks.
ART AND MURAL TOURS
Discover the art and architecture that made the Main Interior Building a "symbol of a new day" during the Great Depression. The Interior Museum Murals Tour lasts an hour and visits photographic murals by Ansel Adams and many of the over fifty murals by artists including Maynard Dixon, Allan Houser, Gifford Beal, and John Steuart Curry.
Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2 p.m. and by appointment for groups over six. Reservations required for all tours by calling 202-208-4743.
Special Assistance - For those in need of special assistance (such as an interpreter for the hearing impaired) or inquiries regarding the accessible entrance, please notify museum staff at 202-208-4743 in advance of the program. Special needs will be accommodated whenever possible.
