Lots Happening at Tyler Art Museum

TYLER — Among current attractions at the Tyler Museum of Art is an exhibition called “Cherokee Beadwork: Finding a Lost Art.” On KTBB “Staff Meeting,” Museum spokesperson Zoe Lawhorn says it was organized by Tylerite Martha Berry. Lawhorn calls Berry one of the only experts in the world on that particular type of art. Lawhorn says the art of Cherokee beadwork has indeed been virtually lost — and Berry “took it upon herself to do some really heavy, in-depth research and to find the remaining examples.” The exhibition remains up for several more weeks, along with another one called “The American Indian through the Eyes of Edward s. Curtis” and the popular “Babar’s Museum of Art.” Go to http://www.tylermuseum.org for more on what’s happening at the art museum.
