Past Forward: Native American Art from Gilcrease Museum showcases the extensive collection of Indigenous art created by Thomas Gilcrease (1890 –1962), an arts patron and a citizen of the Muscogee Nation. Gilcreaseʼs unprecedented efforts and devotion to Indigenous traditions — continued today by Gilcrease Museum — affirmed these works as vital to American art history. Surveying more than 3,000 years of Native American art, this enriching and illuminating exhibition encompasses portraiture, archaeological, and archival works, allowing for exploration of visual motifs and shared systems of knowledge that connect different ancestries, time, and space.
