INDIANAPOLIS – The Eiteljorg Museum celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month and Native American Heritage Month with cultural performances and activities visitors will not want to miss. On Oct. 14, the museum highlights Native cultures of the Pacific Northwest during Indigenous Peoples’ Day events. On Oct. 26, the museum observes Día de Muertos with its popular community celebration. Admission is free on both dates.
There is a major new exhibition the Eiteljorg will host in the fall and winter, Preston Singletary: Raven and the Box of Daylight. Opening Nov. 8 and continuing through March 9, the critically acclaimed exhibition features more than 60 glass sculptures by Singletary (Tlingit), a Seattle-based contemporary artist. His exhibition retells a story from Tlingit oral tradition using glass, soundscapes, lighting effects and video. Included with regular Eiteljorg admission, Raven and the Box of Daylight is organized by the artist and the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington. The Singletary exhibition is sponsored at the Eiteljorg by the Arthur Jordan Foundation, Robert Lehman Foundation, Raymond James and Citizens Energy Group.
