3 national art exhibits draw on Tweed collection

Three major U.S. museums—the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Walker Art Center, and the Denver Art Museum—are simultaneously exhibiting works loaned from the Tweed Museum of Art at the University of Minnesota Duluth. The loans include pieces by Ojibwe artist George Morrison (1919-2000) for "The Magical City: George Morrison's New York" at the Met; works by Sičáŋǧu Lakota artist Dyani White Hawk for "Dyani White Hawk: Love Language" at the Walker; and a work by Andrea Carlson for "Andrea Carlson: A Constant Sky" at the Denver Art Museum. Tweed director Julie Delliquanti and Duluth Art Institute executive director Christina Woods highlight the significance of sharing the Tweed's collection with national audiences.

That time a bunch of radical artists got under the hood at Mia – and stayed there

A group of experimental Minnesota artists in the 1970s, frustrated with the established art scene, successfully pitched the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) to create the Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program (MAEP). Launched in 1975, MAEP gave artists direct control over curating a dedicated gallery within the museum, selecting their peers for exhibitions. Fifty years later, the program remains active, with artists chosen through an open call and an advisory committee, and has featured influential figures like Phyllis Wiener, Judy Onofrio, and George Morrison.

Exhibition Of Contemporary Anishinaabe Art At Detroit Institute Of Arts

The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) has opened "Contemporary Anishinaabe Art: A Continuation," a major exhibition featuring over 60 Anishinaabe artists from Michigan and the Great Lakes region. The show, running from September 28, 2025, through April 8, 2026, was sparked by artist Kelly Church, who proposed the idea after a conversation with sculptor Jason Quigno. Church worked with DIA Assistant Curator Denene De Quintal and a Native advisory board—the "Council of the Three Fires"—to select nearly 100 contemporary artworks. The exhibition includes both established artists like Frank Big Bear and George Morrison, as well as lesser-known artists receiving their first significant institutional attention.
