The exhibition features figures of women sculpted by seven American Indian women artists. Most of the ten works on view will be in the museum’s outdoor Roland Sculpture Garden.
There is a long history of sculpting among the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The artists in Courage and Compassion, while contemporary in their approach are steeped in tradition. Using the same materials as their ancestors did thousands of years ago, the works presented draw on cultural influences of those who have gone before
