Did you know?

Space Makers: Indigenous Expression and a New American Art explores the intersection between mid-century American art and Indigenous visual culture. It shines a light on the Indian Space Painters and their profound influence on the American art scene, as well as the contributions of the modern Native art movement.

The focus also extends to the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe, founded in 1962 as the only fine arts school in the U.S. for contemporary Native American art. Seymour Tubis, an early IAIA instructor and former Art Students League member, played a crucial role in shaping the practices of many Indigenous artists. The Coffee Cantina will be open late with a delicious selection of food and drinks, and, as always, admission to the Heard will be FREE.
