Good Relations: Contemporary Native Artists In The MAM Collection
Celebrating contemporary Native artists is a cornerstone of MAM鈥檚 mission. As the museum marks its 50th anniversary and the retirement of Executive Director Laura J. Millin, we honor her visionary work in establishing the Contemporary American Indian Art Collection (CAIAC) with Jaune Quick-to-See Smith in 1997 and the Lynda M. Frost Gallery of Contemporary Native Art in 2006.
What began with Quick-to-See Smith鈥檚 generous donation has grown into a collection of over 300 works by leading Native artists鈥攏ow the most requested and loaned part of MAM鈥檚 holdings. As artist John Hitchcock states, 鈥淚ndigenous artworks now are about survival, existence, and our futures. To quote Jaune, 鈥榃e are still here.鈥�"
