Show the Flag

“Show the Flag” is populated with standout work by a full dozen of the gallery’s artists, including Ben Pease, whose work is an integral part of the Chicago Field Museum exhibition “Apsáalooke Women and Warriors” (closed abruptly in March due to Covid-19), and Montana Governor’s Lifetime Achievement Award-winner Kevin Red Star, as well as Amber Jean, Audrey Hall, Boo Billstein, Carol Guzman, Jeff Corwin, Jennifer Eli French, Judd Thompson, Kaetlyn Able, Malou Flato and Mike Clark. The exhibit works are available for sale on the website.
A short film, “Behind the Scenes at Stapleton Gallery,” was uploaded on the website June 4 to kick off the show, and shows the intensive process of hanging the new exhibit. Two more videos, one of artist Judd Thompson “grafitti-ing the gallery” and a gallery conversation with Kevin Kooistra of the Western Heritage Center, were added June 11 and 18 respectively, contributing additional layers of meaning to the work.
