SUMMARY:Art: Stratigraphy
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit brings together two Ojibwe artists who create contemporary work about Native life.  Stratigraphy spirals through the cyclical nature of generations\, land and time. It complements artist Maggie Thompson’s intergenerational collaboration\, Inherited Ground. The word stratigraphy refers to the structure and order of a particular set of strata\, or layers of earth. Geologists and archaeologists alike use stratigraphy to understand the passage of time. The exhibit showcases the way that these three artists conceptualize time: through generations.  In the words of artist Racquel Banaszak (Bad River Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe\, Bois Forte Band of Ojibwe)\, visual art allows the viewer to “navigate between the past\, present\, and future simultaneously.” \n  \nVisit the website for admission ticketing. Exhibit runs through 9/30/26.

SUMMARY:Art: Inherited Ground
DESCRIPTION:This project is an intergenerational collaboration between Maggie Thompson (Fond du Lac Ojibwe) and her mother\, Peggy Thompson. Their work brings together weaving\, painting and shared observation of land. Using the grounds of the Arboretum as their common point of reference\, they explore how two distinct visual languages – Ojibwe floral design and painterly depictions of ground – interpret the same environment.  Maggie created woven textile works using ribbon and beads to create Ojibwe florals\, inspired by flowers growing in and around the Arboretum\, while her mother painted a series focused on the ground\, dirt and earth found at the Arboretum. Rather than depicting flowers directly\, her work centers the soil that sustains them\, emphasizing texture and a mother’s role as nurturer. Her paintings function as both physical and conceptual foundations for Maggie’s woven and beaded pieces. \n  \nVisit the website for ticketing details. Event runs through Sept. 30.

SUMMARY:Art: The Brightness of Being
DESCRIPTION:There is still more outdoor fun to be had this year. Step out of the “white cube” gallery and into the tall grass. The Brightness of Being is an invitation to leave your serious art-critic hat at the door and rediscover the world through the eyes of  Anne Spooner\, Leigh Bauer\, Liya Oertel and Nicky Torkzadeh. \n  \nThis is a curated celebration of the light that resides within the playful\, the small and the spirited. In a world that often feels heavy\, this exhibition serves as a sanctuary of illumination — focusing on the literal brightness of the sun-drenched sky and the figurative brightness of the human and animal spirit. This runs daily through 10/26/26.
