Featured Exhibitions
An Indigenous Present
June 26–September 27, 2026
An Indigenous Present, a thematic exhibition spanning one hundred years of modern and contemporary Indigenous art, includes significant works by fifteen artists who use strategies of abstraction to represent personal and collective narratives, describe specific and imagined places, and build upon cultural and aesthetic traditions. Co-organized by artist Jeffrey Gibson (member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and of Cherokee descent), whose work was presented at the Frist Art Museum in 2023, and independent curator Jenelle Porter, the exhibition offers an expansive consideration of Indigenous art practices, highlighting a continuum of elders and emerging makers.
