The Muscogee (Creek) Nation has opened the first Mvskoke-owned and operated art gallery in the Greater Tulsa area, Mvskoke Waters Gallery, in Jenks, Oklahoma, on December 13. The inaugural exhibition, “Mvskokvlke: Road of Strength,” features nearly two dozen Mvskoke artists from across the country, including George Alexander, Joy Harjo, and Sterlin Harjo, and includes a tribute to the late artist Mary Edward Smith. Co-curated by Bobby C. Martin and Carly Treece, the show celebrates Mvskoke resilience, strength, and cultural continuity.
