A new exhibit in a Smithsonian museum dedicated to the groundbreaking Ho-Chunk artist Truman Lowe will open to the public this October.
The exhibit, titled “Water’s Edge: The Art of Truman Lowe,” will contain 50 of his creations, such as paintings and sculptures. It will be showcased in the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian on Oct. 24 and will close just over a year later in January 2027.
