Pistols at the Eiteljorg
Famous sharpshooter Annie Oakley could
split a playing card edge-on and put
six more holes in it before it touched the ground. The director
of the Dodge City Cowboy
Band used a Colt revolver as a baton,
punctuating musical performances with a staccato burst of
gunfire. Presidents Reagan and Kennedy
owned elaborate guns. Now the Eiteljorg
Museum is bringing these firearms to one place, in Pistols:
Dazzling Firearms, which pays
homage to the artistry of these pistols,
rather than to their fire power. The collection is highly
significant – with
historic and pop culture ties – and features 19th and 20th
century pistols most visitors would rarely
have the opportunity to view.
Sharon Gamble invited James Nottage, vice president and chief
curatorial officer of the Eiteljorg, to tell us more. You can
see Pistols: Dazzling Firearms February 6 through April 18.
You can meet Annie Oakley, see master engravers at work, and
see historic films of sharpshooter entertainment during the
run of the exhibition, and you can hear Wild Women of the West,
the spring performance of the Indianapolis Women’s Chorus
at the Eiteljorg on March 20 and 21. For more information, visit
eiteljorg.org. |

Porta Vallarta artists
Last fall, four women artists from Indianapolis
took a trip together to Porta Vallarta
to spend a week in retreat to work on their art. This February
the women will be showing
work from their experience in a show
at the Mass Ave Wine Shoppe. Travis DiNicola spoke with three
of the four artists, Julia Zollman
Wickes, Janice Coleman and Sylvia Gray,
about the show. The show featuring their work, along with that
of Sara Love, will be on
exhibit all of February at the Mass Ave
Wine Shoppe on the east end of Massachusetts Avenue. For more

Lincoln Exhibit
The Indiana State Museum is the place to
be this year if you've ever wondered about the man behind the
mystique of Abraham Lincoln. The museum has not one but two exhibitions:
the Library of Congress' With Malice Toward None: The Abraham
Lincoln Bicentennial Exhibition, which runs February 12 through
April 11, and the Indiana State Museum's With Charity For
All: The Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection, from February 12
through July 25. Sharon Gamble invited Dale Ogden, chief curator
of cultural history, and Kathi Moore, communications director,
to tell us more about these exhibits. There's lots of cool programming
during the exhibits' run. Entrance to the exhibits is included
with museum admission, but you'll need a timed ticket. Find out
more at indianamuseum.org |
