Join us to dive deeper into Resilience, the latest exhibition at the Ucross Art Gallery, in an artist and curator talk on April 17 at 11 a.m. The event will be held at Sheridan College’s Kinnison Hall.


Exploring the resiliency of Indigenous artists across generations, the new exhibition features artwork from the 2025 recipients of the Ucross Fellowship for Native American Artists, including sculptor Gina Herrera (Tesuque Pueblo) of Bakersfield, California; writer Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians) of Cherokee, North Carolina; mixed-media artist Wade Patton (Oglala Lakota) of Rapid City, South Dakota; and visual and performance artist Sarah Ortegon HighWalking (Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho) of Fort Washakie, Wyoming.


The exhibition is curated by Marwin Begaye (Navajo), a former Ucross artist-in-residence and working artist.


“Cultural resilience is created through language, kinship, knowledge, and our relationship to place,” said Marwin. “The work in this exhibition is rich and diverse. The collective works are visual evidence of diverse Indigenous narratives and a testament to the power held within cultural memories. Each expresses the idea of resilience in their creative voice.”


The event is free and open to the public with required registration.


Following the talk, please also join us for a gallery reception at 6 p.m. at the Ucross Art Gallery. Learn more at ucross.org.
