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.
