Reception and Gallery Talk: Jaune Quick-to-See Smith

In celebration of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s retrospective, Jaune Quick-To-See Smith: Memory Map, the YAM will exhibit twelve works by Smith from the permanent collection in the Charles M. Bair Family Gallery & Northwest Projects Gallery. Smith’s paintings, drawings, and prints, grounded in personal and political identity, layer energetic brushwork and markings with collage materials and references to Indigenous traditions. Programming will include a public talk by Neal Ambrose-Smith, a descendent of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation of Montana. Ambrose-Smith is a contemporary Native American painter, sculptor, printmaker, and professor at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
