Circle Five: Contemporary Native American Artists

January 4 to February 12, 2016

Circle Five features the work of five of the region’s most influential contemporary Native American artists: Rick Bartow, Joe Feddersen, Lilian Pitt, Tanis S’eiltin, and Gail Tremblay. For decades, these five prolific artists and educators have straddled the world of the modern and the world of the traditional, continuously experimenting with an array of media, and have shaped the canon of Native American art.
