Art is the Seed explores how traditional Native American crafts are the cultural “seeds” inspiring many contemporary Native American artists’ works. This exhibition features artworks by exciting contemporary female artists paired with historic and traditional crafts that have inspired their works. Informed by the history and stories behind the traditional crafts, visitors will come away with a greater appreciation and understanding of contemporary Native American art. The exhibition will feature contemporary art by Cara Romero, Marla Alison, Sarah Sense, Natani Notah and Darby Raymond-Overstreet, in addition to historic artifacts generously loaned by Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery.
This exhibition made possible through a grant from Arizona Humanities.
