Albuquerque Museum presents Indigenous Art, Culture, and Community on view from February 4, 2023 – July 23, 2023. This exhibition features ceramics, beadwork, prints, paintings, and other artwork produced by many award-winning Native American artists, most of whom have participated in Santa Fe’s Indian Market. Indigenous Art, Culture, and Community explores how artistic creation at Indian Market has been the center of creative community building and how over the last century it has grown to include artists from Indigenous nations across the United States and Canada.

Objects in this exhibition come from the collection of Ruth and Sidney Schultz and were recently donated to the Albuquerque Museum. For more than 50 years, Dr. and Mrs. Schultz attended and supported Indian Market and its artists in many ways. Indigenous Art, Culture, and Community includes over 50 works by over 35 artists including Jamie Okuma, Sandra Okuma, Charlene Holy Bear, Lonnie Vigil, Ben Harjo Jr. Chris Pappan, Teri Greeves, Marcus Amerman, Les Namingha, and many more.

Indian Market is a major annual event that takes place in Santa Fe each August. The market features approximately 1,000 Native artists from more than 200 Indigenous communities in the United States and Canada and brings around 100,000 people to Santa Fe. Indian Market is a bustling place that fosters both local community (often, there are different generations of artist families selling alongside each other), as well as a global community – visitors from around the world attend each year. The exhibition presents topics central to Santa Fe’s Indian Market – the market’s history, jury and awards processes, and the importance of family and community. The exhibition also explores specific mediums such as ceramics and beadwork, works that depict the figure, and how artists integrate popular culture into their work.

Indigenous Art, Culture, and Community explores how artists are continually evolving their own artistic style while utilizing traditional materials and techniques. In the early days of Indian Market, artists were encouraged to maintain the traditional artistic styles of their own community. This exhibition demonstrates how tradition is constantly evolving with innovative contemporary works such as miniature pots and beaded Louboutin boots.

“Indigenous Art, Culture, and Community is a celebration of the ongoing creativity, skill, and ingenuity of Native artists and the community that is created through Santa Fe’s Indian Market,” Andrew Connors, Albuquerque Museum Director, said.

Indian Market has evolved and changed tremendously in its 100-year history. Originally organized by non-Native staff at the Museum of New Mexico and the School of American Research, today it is primarily facilitated by Native staff and board members. It is also the largest juried market of Native American artwork in the world. From tourists on the railroad to visitors to Indian Market today, the interaction between artist and visitor has been a crucial part of the continued success of the event. Indigenous Art, Culture, and Community is a celebration of the ongoing creativity, skill, and ingenuity of Native artists and the community.

In addition to the gifts to the Albuquerque Museum, Dr. and Mrs. Schultz have also made significant donations from their collection to the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in Santa Fe, and to the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona.

A CLASSIC Julian Onderdonk #texas #hillcountry #bl A CLASSIC Julian Onderdonk #texas #hillcountry #bluebonnets painting, “Near San Antonio” (1918) at @sama_art. I have long said my dream den has an Onderdonk #bluebonnet painting. A Texan, he nailed the “feel” as only someone passionate for and intimate with that landscape could.
Following the bluebonnet painting are others from Onderdonk including from his time in New York, which I knew nothing about.

McNay is one of my favorite small museums in the US, wonderful Modern art collection with MAJOR figures like these and many, many others (Hopper, Rivera, van Gogh, Gauguin, Modigliani, etc).

I see so much drama in this painting, so much certainty, confidence. Of all the past artists I could have met, @helenfrankenthalerfoundation would be high on the list.

OVERWHELMED by this exhibition of #purvisyoung art OVERWHELMED by this exhibition of #purvisyoung artwork on view at @tampamuseumofart! 
What most caught my eye were all the 18-wheelers. Are these a reference to “urban renewal” and the siting of I-95 through the heart of Young’s #overtown #miami neighborhood. 
As occurred across America during 1950s-80s, so-called urban renewal was a tactic used by white politicians to destroy thriving Black communities by running interstates through them to aide white suburbanites in getting to jobs in town faster.
Young experienced Overtown on both sides of #urbanrenewal and I can’t help thinking all these trucks are commentary on I-95.
