Tours Multi-Cultural Art Exhibition

What’s Happening?

Learn more about the artists and artworks in the exhibition, then try some printmaking techniques for yourself!

About the Exhibition:

Discover new perspectives on landscape, history, and the possibilities of printmaking in this remarkable exhibition showcasing contemporary Native artists. Experience St. Louis in a new light as a historic Indigenous hub of encounter and exchange, transcending its colonialist title, “Gateway to the West.” Revel in the evocative medium of printmaking, where artists masterfully layer imagery, text, and memories to explore themes such as migration, ancestry, and language.

The exhibition is curated by heather ahtone, PhD (Choctaw/Chickasaw Nation), who holds leadership positions in a number of Native arts and cultural institutions and initiatives, and Marwin Begaye (Navajo Nation), internationally exhibited printmaker and painter as well as Professor of Painting and Printmaking at the University of Oklahoma’s School of Visual Arts, in collaboration with Jennifer Scanlan, Deputy Director at Craft Alliance.
