Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass
October 24 – January 10, 2027
This stunning exhibition brings together more than 120 works by 33 Indigenous artists from North America, Australia and New Zealand, alongside pioneering glass artist Dale Chihuly. Drawing on traditional stories, designs and cultural knowledge while addressing contemporary Indigenous experiences, these artists harness the unique properties of glass to reinterpret cultural traditions in a dynamic contemporary medium. The result is a groundbreaking exhibition that expands the story of Native art and reveals the remarkable creative possibilities of glass.
