The K Art Gallery just opened to the public, and is a "Native American owned commercial art gallery with a primary and robust focus on national-level Native contemporary artists." It's the first of its kind in the U.S.
The art gallery spans over two floors, and is also used as a shared workspace. For the shared workspaces, there is table seating (with dividers), offices, and a video conference room. It would feel great to work in a space like this surrounded by art, I would feel very creative and inspired!
I came with a friend to see the current exhibit titled "More than a Trace". Currently, you need to book a reservation online prior to visiting, and sign a covid waiver upon entry. There is no admission charge.
Although I checked out some of the art in the exhibition on their website prior to visiting, I really enjoyed seeing it up close and having the chance to reflect on each piece. Although this is contemporary art, there were a few pieces that had strong historical ties, including the Treaty of the Seneca, and Antipode (Study in Dusty Rose).
Overall I would highly recommend visiting this gallery if you enjoy art, and the opportunity to see work by contemporary Native American artists.
Also, I'd like to give a special thank you to Sophia, who was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcomed!
