Members are invited to get a first look at our new exhibition, Knowing the West!
Knowing the West is the first major travelling exhibition to focus on the coexistence of art created between 1785 and 1922 by Native American and non-Native American artists. It celebrates the American West as inclusive, complex, and reflective of the diverse peoples who contributed to art and life there.
Americans often feel they “know the West,” whether informed by direct experience or popular culture. Knowing the West embraces these impressions and expands ideas of art of the West by presenting more than 100 artworks including textiles, baskets, paintings, pottery, sculpture, beadworks, saddles, and prints. This exhibition contextualizes historic artwork, encourages deeper exploration of a familiar topic, and celebrates the rich cultures that reflect the complexity of the American West.
