Art of the Western Saddle

Amarillo, Texas
Venue: American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum
The western saddle is one of the great executions of form and function merging into a third greater thing – art. Its design is built around use, lightness, durability and fit to give the rider the ability to stay on board while at the same time not getting in the way of the horse, all the while being able to hold an 800-pound steer by only a rope wound around the saddle horn.
But more than a tool, western saddles are iconic representations of the work of an indigenous root-based culture in America. As much a part of the cowboy way as a hat and a pair of boots, saddles spoke of work in a unique vocation. Work performed by man and animal together, a task that remains remarkably unchanged due to the nature of the work itself – the moving and caring of livestock.
Like any tool, the saddle became an extension of those who used it and because of that became subject to personalization. That unique personalization and embellishment – call it character – is the basis for a new exhibition opening at the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum in this month. The Art of the Western Saddle will feature 16 glorious examples of the saddlemaker’s art. Curated by western historian and author William C. Reynolds, the exhibit will feature silver-mounted saddles from important private collections and museums across the country. The collection will display the saddles' unique design, craftsmanship and graceful merging of silver, gold and leather.
Many of the saddles have never been exhibited in public, and the exhibition will be a unique opportunity to see the pinnacle of craftsmanship, embellishing the primary tool of the American cowboy. The exhibit opens January 22, 2010, and will continue through July 31, 2010, at the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum in Amarillo, Texas.
General Admission
Adults - $6.00
Adults - $5.00 (55 & Up)

Postcards and Perceptions: Culture as Tourism

Clewiston, Florida
Postcards provide a glimpse at what is noteworthy about a place. Although there are no rules for postcard content, they often depict popular tourist locations. Widespread use of the picture postcard occurred around 1890. During this time, tourists were flocking to South Florida. This new and forbidding landscape must have seemed foreign to some. For others, a chance to come in contact with the “unconquered” Seminole Indians was most significant. Throughout the era of tourist villages the postcard was a common souvenir. It depicted the Seminole Tribe of Florida in all ranges of flattering and sometimes not so-flattering terms. Be that as it may, this selection of postcards is an invaluable record of history and a testament to a resilient and resourceful group of people. Join us as we examine the complex social identity of the Seminole Tribe of Florida through postcards.
