Together, these artists present a fresh and nuanced vision of Native American art. The artists were selected for their work that expresses the honors and burdens that Native artists balance as they carry forward their cultural traditions. These artists highlight principles of respect, reciprocity and responsibility through their work that addresses themes of environmentalism, displacement and cultural connectedness.

The guest curator for the 2023 exhibition is Lara M.
