Contemporary & Traditional Indigenous Art

 

 

It's not often that an exhibition pulls you in so deeply and emotionally while delivering it humorously, but that is exactly what happens when you enter John Feoderov's "Memories of a Suburban Ind'n" currently at Western Washington University's Western Gallery.
In celebration of the contributions of Indigenous artists and cultures, Native Arts 360 presents this exhibition of some of the most impactful art from our family of artists.

Each year, the Eiteljorg selects several Native American artists from across the United States and Canada to share their talents with the local community. Selected artists receive an honorarium and work closely with staff to plan and carry out demonstrations, workshops, discussions, and community projects. Residency lengths vary, but range from one and three weeks in duration. APPLY HERE

In celebration of Native American Heritage and Indigeneity, on November 8, 2024 over a dozen students and staff took the stage in Bellis Fair Mall for the 2nd Annual Indigenous Fashion Show: Loud, Empowered and Proud.

Walking into the Seattle Art Museum to experience this once in a lifetime retrospective was emotionally gut wrenching. It was hard not to see think "what took so long!" In the 60 years that Jaune Quick to-See has been creating art it took until 2022 for the Whitney to feature the first solo retrospective of a Native artist. That collection eventually made its way to Seattle as a traveling exhibition for an Salish artist that hails from the Flathead reservation in Montana.
