On July 20, 2008, the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian will present two new exhibitions, Playing Cards of the Apaches and Navajo Pictorial Textiles. Based on Playing Cards of the Apaches: A Study of Cultural Adaptation by Virginia Wayland, Harold Wayland, and Alan Ferg, the Wheelwright’s exhibition explores a unique southwestern folk-art genre, with hand-painted decks from Arizona State Museum and several private collectors. Navajo Pictorial Textiles features twentieth-century weaving from the Wheelwright’s permanent collections. Both exhibitions will run through November 2, 2008.

From November 15, 2008, through April 19, 2009, the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian will exhibit Works by Chessney Sevier, a Northern Arapaho artist from Wyoming. The exhibition will include copper-plate etchings and paintings from the artist’s private collection.
