SUMMARY:Ojuha: Indigenous Connection to Color
DESCRIPTION:For hundreds of years\, Native American tribes of the Plains\, Plateau\, and Basin regions crafted containers from hard animal skin. This untanned\, natural skin—sourced from deer\, elk\, and buffalo—is known as rawhide. \nThe designs painted on these containers were representational\, geometric\, and abstract\, each rich in meaning and unique to specific regions and tribal nations. They told creation stories\, conveyed star knowledge\, expressed spiritual beliefs\, and embodied virtues and values. Certain designs were particular to individual Tribal Nations\, Indigenous families\, women’s guilds\, and men’s societies across the different regions. \nNatural paint pigments were derived from berries\, rocks\, and plants\, then mixed with hide glue. The finished containers were coated with a solution made from plant starches\, gelatin\, and gum fiber to preserve and protect them. \nThese vessels served a wide range of purposes: holding spiritual items\, feathers\, food\, clothing\, medicines\, tools\, weapons\, and other everyday essentials. \nFor centuries\, these containers have been misidentified as “parfleche\,” a term used by French fur traders to describe Native American shields\, also made of rawhide. The word parfleche literally translates as “stop arrow.” Over time\, the term was broadly applied to any item made from rawhide\, a misidentification that persists to this day.

SUMMARY:Skin Deep: The Art of the Tattoo
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Huang Yan’s Chinese Shan-Shui Landscape Tattoo\, this panel discussion brings together Omaha tattoo artists Dave Koenig\, Chris Martini\, and Johnna McCreary to explore tattooing as a dynamic and evolving art form and the creative\, technical\, and cultural dimensions of working in ink. \nFrom the first spark of an idea to the final line etched into skin\, panelists will provide an inside look at how artists compose for the body in motion\, manipulate line and shadow with precision\, and make critical decisions about color\, scale\, and placement. Drawing connections to photography\, illustration\, and fine art\, they’ll reveal how tattooing transforms visual inspiration into immersive\, one-of-a-kind works that live and breathe with their wearer. \nBeyond technique\, panelists will reflect on questions of authorship\, symbolism\, identity\, memory\, and storytelling. The conversation will also touch on the evolving perception of tattooing within contemporary art and its growing recognition as both craft and fine art. Engaging\, provocative\, and visually driven\, this program invites patrons to reconsider tattooing as a powerful contemporary practice—one that transforms the human body into a site of enduring artistic expression.\nTickets: \n$15 General Admission\n$10 Students / Members

SUMMARY:Anatomy of a Moment: Capturing Truth in Court and Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Join Peter Millett\, a Seattle-based sculptor and courtroom illustrator\, and Dr. James Vargo\, a Children’s Nebraska craniofacial surgeon and medical illustrator\, for a compelling\, unscripted conversation about the challenges of rendering truth under pressure and recording the human experience.\nWhile one works in operating rooms and the other in high-stakes legal environments\, both are tasked with translating fleeting\, complex realities into images that inform\, persuade\, and endure. This program examines how artists capture and reconstruct critical moments\, exploring the questions of accuracy\, interpretation\, and ethics that underlie every creative decision.\nAnatomy of a Moment invites audiences to reconsider what it means to “document reality\,” and how artists in medicine and law shape our understanding of truth in moments that cannot be replayed.
