Aaron Coleman: Come, Go Back, Child

Come, Go Back, Child is an exhibition of recent work by multidisciplinary artist Aaron S. Coleman whose art practice examines the entangled histories of race, religion, and power in the United States. Coleman’s densely layered prints, sculptural assemblages, and mixed-media installations explore contemporary Black experiences and critique systems of white supremacy.

Know Your Treaty: Wiwahokichiyapi

Treaties are living documents that are “the supreme law of the land” and remain legally binding agreements that establish the political relationship between Native Nation and the United States government. These agreements have established land boundaries, resource rights, reservations; they determine Tribal Nation citizenship and outline mutual obligations.

The museum that’s been free is about to become even more welcoming. We’re creating a new welcome center that bonds two beloved buildings into one, new ways to experience more than 6,000 works you’ve never seen, and a commitment to bringing, and sharing art, with future generations. Phase one starts with Collections, a space that has held our work, and now a place you will soon be able to visit.
