The Pickens Museum has opened a new exhibition titled 'Contemporary Native Women Artists' in the atrium of City Central in Ponca City, Oklahoma. The showcase features paintings by Traci Rabbit, the late Bill Rabbit, and Gwen Coleman Lester, focusing on the strength, dignity, and creative vision of Indigenous women artists. The exhibition will be on view through September 2026.

This exhibition highlights intergenerational artistic voices within Native communities, bridging tradition, family legacy, and personal narrative. It provides a significant public platform for contemporary Native artists, bringing their work to a wide audience in a community civic space and underscoring the museum's mission to preserve and present Indigenous art and culture.
