Join our distinguished speakers for the 24th Annual Mays Symposium: Contemporary Perspectives on Native American Art. This year's symposium will coincide with the Museum’s presentation of our Spring Special Exhibition; Wendy Red Star: A Scratch on the Earth.

During the symposium we will explore how Native American cultures have often been romanticized, appropriated, or erased from the canons of art history. This symposium seeks to provide greater context, understanding, and inclusivity through fresh insights into the personal and societal narratives that are woven into the practice of contemporary Native American artists.

The symposium will be hosted through virtual and in-person speaker engagements. All tickets are for both Friday and Saturday programs. Limited seating for Saturday in-person programming, masks are strongly encouraged.
