Contemporary Indigenous Exhibition

During the fall of 2023, we are exhibiting a National Indigenous Contemporary Art  show curated by Danielle SeeWalker. SeeWalker is Húŋkpapȟa Lakȟóta and citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota. She is an artist, writer, activist, and boymom of two, based in Denver, Colorado. Her visual artwork often incorporates the use of mixed media and experimentation while incorporating traditional Native American materials, scenes, and messaging. Her artwork pays homage to her identity as a Lakȟóta wíŋyaŋ (woman) and her passion to redirect the narrative to an accurate and insightful representation of contemporary Native America while still acknowledging historical events.Alongside her passion for creating visual art, Danielle is a freelance writer and recently published her first book, titled “Still Here: A Past to Present Insight of Native American People & Culture.” She is also very dedicated to staying connected and involved in her Native community and currently serves as Co-Chair for the Denver American Indian Commission. Danielle has also been working on a personal, passion project since 2013 with her long-time friend called The Red Road Project. The focus of the work is to document, through words and photographs, what it means to be Native American in the 21st century by capturing inspiring and positive stories of people and communities within Indian Country.

In order to make sure we are providing the best experience for SeeWalker, the artists, performers, and lecturers, we are asking for donations and sponsorships. These funds will provide participating artists with stipends and cover shipping fees, while your support will help lift the voices and educate the community about Indigenous Artists. 90% of art sales will be returned to the artist, while the additional 10% will be donated to an organization of SeeWalker’s choosing. We would like to have robust programming surrounding this exhibition including an Indigenous Fashion Show, lecture from Melanie Yazzie from CU Boulder, Indigenous foods, and artist demos.
