The Native American Art Exhibition is a long-standing collaboration and community building exhibition shaped and selected by First Nations guest curators. Each year the exhibition highlights work by First Nations artists, adult and youth from local and regional tribes around the Pacific Northwest, and Native artists from around the country who have relocated to the region. The Native American Art Exhibition engages viewers and the community celebrating the art and culture of our indigenous community members while providing career opportunities to experienced and emerging curators, as well as those whose interests and aspirations lie in exhibition curation or cultural programming within their indigenous communities.
