Celebrate Indigenous art and culture with a day of storytelling, talks, and activities at both Evanston museums.


Join us for a festive day exploring The Block Museum of Art and the Gichigamiin Indigenous Nations Museum in celebration of exhibitions Woven Being: Art for Zhegagoynak / Chicagoland and Living Stories: Contemporary Woodland Native American Art. Enjoy open galleries, storytelling, coloring/scavenger hunt activities, and more. A gallery talk with exhibition artist Nora Moore Lloyd will take place at The Block, and there will be a talk from muralist Sergio Ceron at the Gichigamiin on the new ceiling mural in their library. The Aloha Center, located next door to the Gichigamiin, will also offer family programming, with ukelele, hula dance, and craft workshops in the afternoon.
