More than history a series of lectures at the Frye highlight contemporary works by Native American artists, Real Change News, March 23, 2016

Here in Seattle, the Frye is doing its part to pull contemporary Native art into the spotlight. Belarde-Lewis presented a similar, more condensed lecture series last year at the museum.

In 2014, the Frye hosted “Your Feast Has Ended,” an exhibit featuring work by Native artist Nicholas Galanin. 

“Seattle is one of the few places in the country where the Native presence has not been completely eradicated,” said Negarra A. Kudumu, the museum’s educator and curator of public programs. 

People are living, working and carrying on traditions in the Pacific Northwest, including contemporary artists who deserve attention, she said. The Frye is in a good position to continue to display and discuss this art.
