Join the artists and museum leadership as we celebrate the Autry’s new exhibition, Creative Continuities: Family, Pride, and Community in Native Art 

• 5 p.m. | Reception begins in museum lobby. Exhibition opens. 

• 6 p.m. | Leadership remarks by Autry Museum President & CEO Stephen Aron and Joe Horse Capture, Vice President and Curator of Native Collections and Engagement.

The creation of Native American works involves a deep understanding of cultural protocols, history, and culture. Featuring selected works from the Autry’s Native American collections and the promised gift of Lora and Robert U. Sandroni, Creative Continuities explores the cultural meanings, histories, and concepts embedded within three aspects of Native cultural items: “Knowing,” “Create,” and “Transference.” Three Native culture bearers and artists will each curate a section of the exhibition, framing works from the Autry’s collection that originated within their respective communities behind one of the three concepts at the heart of the exhibition. Through this unique combination of cultural items and stories about Native American art and culture told by contemporary Native artists and culture bearers, Creative Continuities aims to educate visitors about the diversity of Native American culture, history, and traditions that cross tribal boundaries, past and present.
