Fritz Scholder Collection

The NDSCS Alumni/Foundation has recently loaned 5 selections of art by the Native American artist Fritz Scholder to the Mildred Johnson Library. This showing is an effort to bring Scholder's art to more students on campus and create awareness of his heritage and works. His art is still shown throughout the world. Most recently is a featured exhibit at the National Museum of the American Indian, documented at http://www.nmai.si.edu

In the process of being rehung, the works can be seen on the second floor of the Library along with a case of artifacts from Scholder's art and books owned by the Library on his extensive body of material. Take a minute to see what is in the Library or another set of pieces still on display at the Stern Cultural Center on the NDSCS campus.
