Open Studio: Thankful for Art

It’s all about sculpture this November at Open Studio. Each week, we’ll draw inspiration from the Museum’s newly renovated Sculpture Garden and learn about artists such as Alberto Giacometti, Mark Grotjahn, Raven Halfmoon, and more. Join us this week as we learn about Halfmoon and her artwork Dancing at Dusk (2024). Halfmoon is a member of the Caddo Nation in Oklahoma. Much of her artwork is made using the coil-built technique, a tradition passed down through generations of Caddo women. Then, inspired by her artistic practice, we’ll work with clay to make coil-built sculptures of our own! Meet in Art School on the Museum’s Lower Level.
