6:00p - Lecture featuring Dr. Kristi Butterwick
7:00p - From Earth to Sky Exhibition Preview & Reception
Dr. Kristi Butterwick will discuss the stories that ancient West Mexican art tells. From the portraits of leaders, family, and kinship, the ancient people created their universe in beautiful clay sculptures, showing relationships and feasting celebrations. While the ancient people do not possess a names uch as the maya, Aztec, or Olmec, their ceramic sculptures are among the most astounding and detailed pieces in the Mesoamerican art lexicon. Taken as a whole, the collection from the family of Ted Weiner gifted to the Flint Institute of Arts is a stunning capture of life around 2,000 years ago in the environs of Tequila and Colima volcanoes in western Mexico.
Light hors d'oeuvres, cash bar.
