Haines Gallery Showcases Eight Native American Artists in '250 Years, Indigenous Futures'
Haines Gallery is showcasing "250 Years, Indigenous Futures," an exhibit featuring the works of eight prominent Native American artists, including Victoria Grace Canby and Jordan Ann Craig. Rather than celebrating the U.S. anniversary of 250 years, the exhibit reframes 1776 within the broader narrative of Indigenous strength and sovereignty. Artists such as Sky Hopinka and Jamie Okuma utilize diverse mediums, including painting, photography, and sculpture, to explore contemporary culture, visual heritage, and personal narratives. This thought-provoking exhibition is currently open to the public at Haines Gallery.
