2025 Exhibitions

Jacqueline Rickard (Walker River Paiute), All That Is (detail), 2023 - 24, beaded basket, newly commissioned for the collection of the Nevada Museum of Art, Reno

I am so excited to share with you the upcoming exhibitions that will premiere at the Nevada Museum of Art this spring 2025. I have been working closely with the museum for over a decade to help bring Indigenous artists from the Great Basin to a wider audience. I hope you can come out and see all of the amazing art and celebrate together at these events.

All three exhibitions co-curated by Melissa Melero-Moose (Fallon Paiute) and Ann M. Wolfe, the Museum’s Andrea and John C. Deane Family Chief Curator and Associate Director.

Connect the Dots:

Highlights from the Lilley Museum Collection

January 2025 - January 2026

My work, Ben Aleck, and other Indigenous artists will be included in this group exhibition titled Connect the Dots. This show brings together artwork from across the Lilley Museum of Art’s permanent collection. Interesting pairings and installations around themes of place, people, and materiality compel us to think about the artists who make the work, the conditions and time periods the work was made, and our relationship to both. 

Art catalogue to follow soon with writing from Autumn Harry, myself, Antoinette Cavannah and many others.
