Knowing the West: Visual Legacies of the American West the first major traveling exhibition to embrace and examine how people see the American West. It aims to tell a more inclusive story and show the diverse groups who shaped the art and life of the West.
The art of the American West tells stories of persistence through innovation, adaptability, and resistance. Native American artists, in particular, have used art to transform, adapt, and challenge dominant structures.
