Exhibit takes different look at Native art

“Art for a New Understanding” traces multiple timelines with key historic events, highlighting artists from what is now known as Canada and the U.S. whose paintings, sculptures, textiles, photographs, videos and performances tell stories that are both intensely personal and broadly relevant.

The exhibition was organized by Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, in Bentonville, Ark. Support for this exhibition and its national tour is provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Sotheby’s Prize.
