Spring 2025

Temma in Aurora

March 25 - May 16, 2025 

Tim Lowly, Coroacao (Coronation) 2014

Over the course of the last 40 years, much of Tim Lowly's art has been largely devoted to representing his daughter Temma. She is medically categorized as "multiply and profoundly disabled" and as such, one who has little personal agency. Lowly's art depicts Temma as a profoundly meaningful human and as a representative of a significant population that is relatively unseen and unconsidered in our society. Inspired by European Renaissance and Baroque painting and drawing, Lowly creates highly skilled, realistic drawings and paintings depicting Temma as a loved, valued, dignified, and mystical subject.

Pokagon Potawatomi Black Ash Baskets: Our Storytellers

April 29 - December 11, 2025

On view at the Schingoethe Center and the Edith Farnsworth House.

Pokagon Potawatomi Black Ash Baskets: Our Storytellers explores the artistry, tradition, and importance of basketmaking among the Pokagon band of the Potawatomi people. For the Pokagon Potawatomi, these baskets are regarded with the utmost honor, treated as living members of the community. However, over the past century, the practice of basket weaving has been threatened; first by the enforcement of oppressive government regulations and now by the ecological threat presented by the Emerald Ash Borer beetle.
