The 29th Annual Warm Springs Tribal Member and Youth Exhibit opened November 15 at The Museum at Warm Springs. The exhibit will be on view through Saturday, February 11, 2023.

Always a popular draw, the exhibit this year will combine Tribal member adult and youth art into one spectacular display celebrating the artistic excellence of Warm Springs Tribal members. The exhibit will include generations of beautiful artistry in paintings, drawings, mixed-media, beadwork, weavings, video, photography and more, in two categories of Traditional and Contemporary Art.

Fifteen Warm Springs artists (11 adults; four youths) are included in this year’s exhibit, which has 45 paintings, drawings, mixed-media, beadwork, weavings, video and more in two categories of Traditional and Contemporary Art.

The exhibit is curated by Warm Springs Museum Curator and Exhibition Coordinator Angela Anne Smith (Warm Springs, Yakama, Nez Perce and Diné). Selected artworks are available for sale with a 20 percent commission going toward The Museum.

This year’s judge is Annette Lange (Hildebrand). Annette taught art literacy in the Beaverton area for 16 years and has served as a substitute teacher at local schools.
