It rained today, so we headed up to the Heard Museum to check out the American Indian artwork. Saw more sculpture by Allan Houser (here are a couple of photos), a cool Inuit art exhibit and an exhibit of little silver vessels (seed pots) grown out of the heritage of clay pots the Indians used to make to hold seeds.
These have no real function (they're only two to four inches across) but have become an outlet for the creative work of silver artists. Very cool.
We also saw work by Henry Fonseca, an artist of Nisenan Maidu (Indians near Sacramento), Hawaiian and Portuguese descent. He did these coyotes.
Tonight we're heading to the theater.
