✨ OPENING JAN 23, 2026 ✨Opening this January, the Heard Museum presents Kay WalkingStick / Hudson River School. Organized by The New York Historical, the exhibition showcases landscape paintings by the renowned contemporary Cherokee artist Kay WalkingStick in conversation with classic works from their collection of 19th-century Hudson River School paintings. This artistic dialogue spotlights how WalkingStick’s work connects to and diverges from the Hudson River School tradition. It also explores the agency of art in shaping humankind’s relationship to the land. Kay WalkingStick / Hudson River School examines and highlights contemporary Indigenous art in the changing discourse of American art history, while also galvanizing critical discussions on land dispossession.
