Today is the final day to view the exhibition, "Not Vanishing: Contemporary Expressions In Indigenous Art, 1977-2015," at Missoula Art Museum. Gallery hours are 10 AM - 5 PM.

Not Vanishing displays the rich diversity and wide range of artistic approaches and subject matter found in today's contemporary Native art scene. The survey includes artists familiar to the Missoula community through MAM exhibits such as Joe Feddersen, Jaune Quick-to- See Smith, and James Lavadour, and we are happy to see them again. But we are especially excited to introduce the artwork and perspectives of a new assemblage of skilled, award-winning artists, in various stages of career, to our community. Artists in the exhibit include legends that are no longer with us such recently deceased Rick Bartow, James Schoppert, and Conrad House, for whom the Heard Museum established an award to honor his legacy. The spectrum of artmaking ranges from the direct deployment of traditional materials such as weaving, beading, and carving, to indirect homages using ceramic or glass, to the European studio media of drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, and sculpture.
