Ohio Collects Native American Art showcases private and public collections of Native American art throughout the state. Co-curators, Jennifer McLerran, Ph.D. and Lauren Marchaza bring together objects from Miami University Art Museum, the Kennedy Museum of Art at Ohio University, Roscoe’s Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum and the Ohio Historical Society. Included are Pueblo ceramic art, Hopi jewelry and textiles, Native American basketry and Navajo rugs from the collection of novelist, Zane Grey. Pieces from private collectors will add depth to the exhibition and understanding of Katsina dolls, Depression-era Santo Domingo Pueblo jewelry and paintings, masks of the Northwest Coast tribes and surface-collected artifacts from Ohio Native cultures. Together these diverse objects reveal as much about the collectors as the cultures that created them.
