The Agua Caliente Cultural Museum will open A Beauty That Endures: Native Painting, Ceremony, and Resilience in the 20th Century on Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, bringing together more than 50 paintings that examine the development of Indigenous painting as an important movement in 20th-century American art.
