The Otsego Institute for Native American Art History
The Otsego Institute for Native American Art History was founded in 1996 to support and promote the highest standards in the field of Native American art history. From 1997 to 2002 the Otsego Institute symposium, planned by the institute and sponsored by Fenimore Art Museum, brought together Native and non-Native artists, museum professionals and scholars, to address the theoretical issues in the study of Native American art. In 2002, the format of Otsego Institute activities was modified from an academic conference to an advanced workshop for graduate students in order to provide them with specialist training specific to issues and techniques needed in the field of Native American art history but often unavailable in their home institutions.
Location
The Fenimore Art Museum, which houses the Thaw Collection of American Indian Art is in the historic village of Cooperstown, in central New York State, on the shore of Lake Otsego.
