C.N. Gorman Museum

Cutting Edge Native American Art

Description

This is one of three museums in the United States showing exhibits of a new art movement, Native American Contemporary Art. Using both unusual and traditional medium, artists featured here address issues of environmental destruction and pervasive stereotypes of Native Americans. While respecting Native American traditions of artistic integrity, the works of these contemporary Native American artists are explicit. Photography, prints, paintings and sculpture are examples of works at this museum. Many of these artists are publicly showing their work for the first time.
