Jacobson House Celebrates the Spirit of Collaboration——

NORMAN — The Jacobson House will celebrate an evening of Indigenous collaboration with the closing reception of the “Collective Wisdom” exhibit on Friday, August 2. It will take place at the Jacobson House Native Art Center, 609 Chautauqua in Norman.

The evening begins with a 5:30 p.m. official presentation of the headdress originally given to Oscar Jacobson by Kiowa representatives in the summer of 1928. Jacobson served as the University of Oklahoma art professor for the Kiowa Six group of artists who attended OU in the 1920s: Spencer Asah, James Auchiah, Jack Hokeah, Stephen Mopope, Lois Smoky and Monroe Tsatoke. The Oscar Jacobson Foundation offers a special invitation to the descendants of the Kiowa Six artists as well as to Lawrence Spottedbird, the chair of the Kiowa Tribe.

The official closing reception for Collective Wisdom is 6-8 p.m. This will give the public a final opportunity to experience the collaborative two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of 31 Native artists. The evening will also include featured performances by Absentee Shawnee musician Justice Johnson as part of the Jacobson House “NDN Summer Concert Series.” There will also be traditional songs by the Jacobson House Singers.

“We are pleased to host this evening of intersecting events,” said Oscar Jacobson Foundation vice chair E.J. Sweetly. “It will be a memorable night as we honor the heritage and legacy of our foundation with the official presentation of the headdress. We invite the community to come celebrate with us and witness what will become a historical event in the story of the Jacobson House.”

The evening’s events are free and open to the public. For more information, call the Jacobson House Native Art Center at 405-706-1101 or visit www.jacobsonhouse.art.
