Included with Admission

Explore how Indigenous artists fuse heritage and contemporary glassmaking to illuminate their stories, connection to nature, and cultural traditions.

"Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass" is a first-of-its-kind, groundbreaking exhibition giving broader and overdue recognition to a wide range of contemporary Native American and indigenous, Pacific-Rim artists working in glass. This powerful, innovative, and majestic exhibition includes approximately 120 glass art objects created by twenty-nine Native American artists, four Pacific Rim artists from New Zealand and Australia, and leading glass artist Dale Chihuly, who first introduced glass art to Indian country.
