WASHINGTON, DC
.-The Smithsonian American Art Museum has received a $2.1 million gift from the Windgate Foundation to establish an endowment dedicated to acquiring artworks by living craft artists. The gift also funds two sequential one-year pre-doctoral fellowship positions that further scholarship in American craft. This major gift to the museum affirms the Renwick Gallery as the nation’s preeminent center for the enjoyment and study of American craft, and supports the leadership role of its craft program to advocate for a diverse and inclusive view of what is traditionally considered great art.

 “Many Wests: Artists Shape an American Idea” Opens in Boise, Idaho, July 31 
 Ideas about the American West, both in popular culture and in commonly accepted historical narratives, are often based on a past that never was, and fail to take into account important events that actually occurred. The exhibition “Many Wests: Artists Shape an American Idea,” examines the perspectives of 48 modern and contemporary artists who offer a broader and more inclusive view of this region. This exhibition presents an opportunity to examine previous misconceptions, question racist clichés and highlight the multiple communities and histories that continue to form this iconic region of the United States. Working in various media, from painting and sculpture to photography and mixed media, the artists featured in the exhibition bring a nuanced and multifaceted history into view. Among the many voices and communities highlighted in this exhibition, “Many Wests” showcases artworks by artists who are Black, white, women, men, LGBTQ+, Native American, Asian American and Latinx.

“I am overjoyed to welcome visitors back to the Smithsonian American Art Museum and our Renwick Gallery to experience our relevant and impactful exhibitions—from powerful and vibrant prints by Chicanx artists and collaborators to a fossilized mastodon skeleton to a new site-specific artwork that transforms an entire gallery at the Renwick into earthly and heavenly realms,” said Stephanie Stebich, the Margaret and Terry Stent Director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. “We also are deeply grateful to the collectors, museums and foundations for their continued generosity during these unprecedented times by agreeing to extend loans, in some cases for a second time, as well as the extraordinary effort of our staff to develop and install these thought-provoking projects.”

WASHINGTON, DC
.-The Smithsonian American Art Museum has received an extraordinary gift of masterpiece Amish quilts from the collection of Faith and Stephen Brown. The group of quilts is the largest and most significant collection of Amish quilts to enter any major art museum’s permanent collection. The quilts were made between the 1880s and 1940s and embody the astonishing design innovation and stitching skills of Amish women from communities in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other states. An initial group of approximately 40 donated quilts will be featured in an upcoming exhibition organized by the museum, scheduled for March 15, 2024 through Sept. 2, 2024. The exhibition and accompanying catalog will highlight the ways in which Amish quilters across the United States negotiated tradition and innovation. The Brown’s entire collection, approximately 130 quilts, will be donated to the Smithsonian American Art Museum by gift, promised gift or bequest.

American museums: Museums and Communities in a Time of Crisis, with Stephanie Stebich
Museums and Communities in a Time of Crisis
Stephanie Stebich,
This year marks the
175th anniversary of the Smithsonian Institution, the world’s largest museum, education, and research complex. It is also a solemn occasion to ponder how the pandemics—one novel and the other as old as our country— have impacted American museums. With doors closed and digital windows open, how have museums pivoted to stay connected to their audiences during the COVID-19 lockdown? How has the social justice movement and economic upheaval pressured museums to reconsider their operating models to better serve their communities? Lastly, what are the attitudes and expectations of museum audiences for their future museum experiences?
