The Wheelwright will open a major new exhibition, Echoes: Selections from the Wheelwright Museum’s Permanent Collection, in the Klah Gallery, on February 8, 2025, through June 8, 2025.
Echoes highlights the landmark exhibitions that the Wheelwright Museum has organized since the 1970s, representing the work of established and emerging artists, and those who have risen to prominence today. The new curators of the collection, Will Riding In (Santa Ana Pueblo/Pawnee) and Hadley Welch Jensen, have selected rich works that reflect in diverse media ranging from jewelry and fashion to sculpture, textiles, and ceramics.
“The Wheelwright has promoted and supported the work of generations of artists in the Southwest and beyond, and this is a moment to reflect on its focus and impact as an institution that seeks to honor Native voices through art. We are excited to remind our community of the importance of this history,” says Executive Director, Henrietta Lidchi.
