Native Reflections art exhibit opens Nov. 1 in Capitol Rotunda From Leeann Potter Frankfort, KY - In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, Team Kentucky will host a new traveling exhibit, "Native Reflections: Visual Art by American Indians Living in Kentucky." The exhibit will be displayed in the Capitol Rotunda starting November 1, 2024, with an opportunity for visitors to meet the artists from 3pmET to 4:30pmCT that afternoon. "Our commonwealth is a special place defined by our people, traditions and cultures," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "As we celebrate Native American Heritage Month, this exhibit educates visitors about the diversity of the Native American experience in Kentucky through beautiful works of art." The Kentucky Arts Council, the Kentucky Native American Heritage Commission and the Kentucky Heritage Council worked together to invite artists who identify as Native American to share their visual art, resulting in a unique collection. Artists include both those enrolled in recognized tribes and Native-inspired artists living all over Kentucky. The exhibit is inclusive of Kentucky artists who are enrolled and not enrolled but who identify as Native American or American Indian through their family heritage and culture. "The pieces really spoke to me of the pain, isolation and loneliness we feel," said Venus Evans, who is the commissioner at large of the Native American Heritage Commission and who helped jury the art submissions. "But we are seeing a shift into the present with this exhibit, and I want to see even more of that. We are making art that represents who we are now, politicians and doctors and leaders." "People have a preconceived notion on how Native American art should be defined," said Tressa Brown, coordinator of the Native American Heritage Commission. "We hope this exhibit will challenge the assumptions individuals have about the culture; American Indians have always lived in Kentucky and their art does not need to fit into our idea of what represents the community." The exhibit includes works by Amanda Sayles, Brigit Truex, Cher Devereaux, Darlene Campbell, Eugene King, Fred Nez Keams, Jacqueline Carruthers, Jannette Parent, Lawson Glasergreen, Linda Pierce and Tiffany Pyette. The traveling exhibit is open in the Capitol Rotunda through November. The exhibit will travel to several places in the coming months, including Somerset, Erlanger, Murray, Berea, Corbin and Henderson. As required by law and custom, the Native Reflections exhibit labels indicate whether an artist is an enrolled member of a state or federally recognized tribe, or if they are not currently enrolled or recognized. Each artist is listed as either "Enrolled Member" or "Native Inspired." This story was posted on 2024-11-01 14:13:25
