Last month, the @utahmuseumoffinearts hosted an opening reception for its presentation of the cohort-organized exhibition “Many Wests.” Representatives from Art Bridges Cohort Program partners @boiseartmuseum, @jsmauo, @americanart, and @whatcom_museum were in attendance in addition to staff from Art Bridges. The group then traveled to experience Robert Smithson’s iconic “Spiral Jetty,” which took on an otherworldly aspect in the wintery weather. The following day was spent together in discussion during the cohort’s annual professional development convening.
In fall 2022, the @riverfrontmuseum hosted the Art Bridges organized exhibition, Andy Warhol: Endangered Species. The exhibition inspired the creation of “Project Fashion Show”, the museum’s first-ever fashion show.
Working with local partners, the @peoria.art.guild , the @therealpeoriazoo, and @wildlifeprairiepark , the museum built a multi-prong program, where high school students designed and constructed garments, produced and competed in a fashion show. While working on their designs, they learned about conservation and rehabilitation efforts of partner organizations. They also enjoyed mentorship from early career designers and community building whilst emerging from pandemic isolation.
We love that Project Fashion Show provided a unique opportunity for the teens to gain collaboration and time management skills through the lens of fashion design and show production. The museum embraced fashion as a site of self-expression, identity formation and experimentation.

Request to book Frank S. Matsura: Portraits from the Borderland. Frank Matsura was an early 20th century photographer who moved from Japan to America. These photographs capture moments that reveal Syilx (Okanogan) communities effectively adapting to a changing time–a message distinct from many of Matsura’s contemporaries, whose work reinforced erroneous beliefs that Indigenous peoples would soon disappear.
The exhibition’s four themes consider various ways in which Matsura’s artistic legacy challenges colonial stereotypes, unsettles power dynamics in image-making, and fills important gaps in art historical and regional narratives.
Several open dates are available from January 2024 to Winter of 2026.
On View at the @westmorelandmuseum in Greensburg, PA.
Action/Abstraction Redefined is the first major traveling exhibition that analyzes modern Native American art from the mid-1940s through the 1970s that was inspired by Abstract Expressionism, Color Field, and Hard-edge painting and created by leading artists, including George Morrison, Fritz Scholder, and T.C. Cannon.
The exhibition will run until May 28, 2023 before it travels to the @stlartmuseum , St. Louis, MO for its June 23, 2023 opening.
“Vitality and Continuity: Art in the Experiences of Anishinaabe, Inuit, and Pueblo Women” continues its Michigan tour. Organized by Art Bridges Cohort Program partners the @diadetroit, @bonifasarts, @dennosmuseumcenter, @midlandcenter, and @marshallfredericksmuseum, the traveling exhibition celebrates some of the critical roles Anishinaabe, Inuit, and Pueblo women fulfill in their families, their communities, the art world, and beyond. Spotlight artists include Kenojuak Ashevak (Inuit), Kelly Church (Gun Lake Band of Potawatomi/Grand Traverse Ottawa/Chippewa descent), Maria Martinez (San Ildefonso), and many more.
