SADLY, AMERICAN INDIAN ART MAGAZINE WILL PUBLISH ITS FINAL ISSUE
|
We have just received the following announcement from American Indian Art Magazine - truly THE institution of publishing for American Indian Art -
In a few weeks, you will be receiving the August/Autumn 2015 issue of American Indian Art Magazine. It is the last issue of our fortieth anniversary, and after four decades of publishing it will be the final issue of American Indian Art Magazine.
We are grateful for the support of our many loyal advertisers over the years, and for the visual impact you have given to each and every issue.
In the magazine's inaugural issue, back in 1975, its purpose was said to be rooted in "an earnest desire to portray the art forms of the American Indian in a manner and format that will do justice to the art and its creators." For forty years and 160 issues the magazine strived to do exactly that.
We couldn't have done it without you.
Sincerely,
Mary Hamilton

NEWS FROM THE INTERIOR MUSEUM
| |
DOI Pop! On Air, On Screen & In Print explores the intersection of the Department of the Interior with popular culture, highlighting classic examples from the early 1900s to the present from across its bureaus. Visitors will see how the Department's people and places have influenced American identity and figured into television shows, feature films and bestselling publications. From silent films and animated cartoons to blockbuster hits and novels, visitors will discover just how often America's public lands, wildlife refuges and national parks-and even the headquarters building in Washington, DC-have been cast in memorable supporting roles. With historical artifacts and iconic imagery, the exhibition also illustrates how the Department itself has enlisted icons of pop culture for help in publicizing its missions over the years.

Rock Creek Park: The Preservation of an Urban National Park
Wednesday, July 22, 1:15 p.m. - 2:15 p.m., Rachel Carson Room
Rock Creek Park, established in 1890, is celebrating its 125th Anniversary in 2015. The struggle and eventual success in establishing this naturalistic oasis within the Nation's capital, one of the earliest federal urban parks, is a testament to the vision of park planners and politicians at the end of the 19th century. The efforts of park planners to protect the Rock Creek Valley and Rock Creek Park for the enjoyment of all visitors continues today. This presentation provides an introduction to the early planning efforts for Rock Creek Park and the evolution of its development in protecting the natural environment in an urban park setting.
