Join us for our next exhibition opening reception RETURN by the Creative Indigenous Collective.The title of the exhibition refers to the artists in the Creative Indigenous Collective with historical Tribal ties to Wyoming “returning” to exhibit their work.

I am making drawings of gut piles from game animals such as pronghorn, deer, and elk. The work is a natural progression from previous creative research exploring personal and collective fears and anxieties.

We sat for hours and hours listening for the perfect song that would express what we were going through. There was a story, set to music. It illustrated, our love, our pain, our dance, our happiness, and even our trips. We would give them to the people that we loved. They were the words that carried our heart. They were the voice that echoed our growth.

We are grateful to have so much of Jim Gaither's incredible work in our collection, and are thankful for his family's continued support of the NIC.

This unique exhibition showcases new acquisitions at the NIC and permanent collection pieces picked by the NIC!

Through a conglomerate of manufactured parts and animal skulls, a novel yet crude collection of otherworldly creatures and machines is displayed. The subliminal coding and labels create an archival stance, bringing the creations into believability.
