Artists

The artists and culture bearers AMRA highlights practice the mindset that art is embedded throughout our culture. We do not separate art from our daily lives. Through themes directly affecting the Native American community such as the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) crisis, blood quantum, identity, climate justice and Native truth-telling, the artwork reflected through AMRA’s programming and featured artists amplify that there is power in art narrative. Our artists work in a variety of mediums from painting, sculpture, digital, performance, literary, and installations. Many of our artists work in traditional Native media such as beading and regalia making.
