Andrea Carlson's First Museum Survey Opens at Ringling

The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art is showcasing 'Andrea Carlson: A Constant Sky,' the inaugural museum survey of artist Andrea Carlson, organized by the Denver Art Museum. This exhibition, which runs from May 30 to November 15, 2026, is located in the Keith D. Monda Gallery for Contemporary Art and includes 16 pieces. Born in 1979 and of Ojibwe and European settler heritage, Carlson’s work confronts colonial narratives found in contemporary art, museum collections, and horror films. She employs intricate visual elements and text referencing animals, art objects, and cultural artifacts to craft vibrant landscapes that challenge traditional American landscape painting. The Denver Art Museum has been collecting Indigenous art for a century.
