Sweetgrass Arts and Music Society Presents: Indigenous Art Show at ArtSpring

Join us at ArtSpring for a vibrant celebration of Indigenous creativity, culture, and community. This special exhibition brings together a diverse mix of Indigenous artists, showcasing works that reflect story, land, tradition, and contemporary expression.

Alongside the main show, we are hoping to include a dedicated children’s exhibit—highlighting young voices and emerging talent, and creating space for the next generation of artists to share their vision.

This gathering is more than an art show—it is a place to connect, learn, and celebrate the richness of Indigenous art across generations.

All are welcome.
