Glacier Art Museum in Montana is hosting a new solo exhibition titled “Our Sometimes Home: April Werle,” featuring multi-media works by Missoula-based artist April Werle. The show includes murals, recent paintings, and video projections, and opens with a preview reception on June 18, 2025, with live music by cellist Lee Zimmerman. The exhibition runs from June 19 to September 26.
The exhibition matters because it highlights a contemporary Indigenous and biracial perspective on American identity and memory, drawing on 1990s-2000s pop culture and the artist's own upbringing in Montana. Werle’s use of reflective surfaces and distorted spaces challenges idealized narratives of American life, offering a nuanced exploration of grief, escapism, and belonging. This show brings regional contemporary art to a local museum audience, supporting cultural dialogue in a rural state.
