Comprising over 100 works across a range of media, from beadwork and jewelry to video and painting, Indigenous Identities foregrounds the significance of identity in artmaking through the diverse practices of 97 artists, representing more than 50 distinct Indigenous nations and tribes across the United States.   On view for the entire calendar year from February 1 to December 21, 2025, the exhibition explores the multiplicities of indigeneity and asserts the inextricability of Native American Art from the contemporary canon.   Join Us at the Opening Reception on February 1 Details Coming Soon Free & Open to the Public     Opening January 22   Hope with Humor: Works by Jaune Quick-To-See Smith from the Collection Organized in conjunction with Indigenous Identities, this exhibition focuses on artworks from the 60-year career of Quick-to-See Smith, including paintings and prints from the permanent collection that honor Indigenous survival and resilience with both wit and optimism.   An Eye for Photographs: Gifts from Anne and Arthur Goldstein This exhibition features 30 black and white photographs from the late twentieth century, emphasizing the role of photography within the larger context of avant-garde art. Shifting Perspectives on Environmental Crisis This curricular exhibition is designed to engage Rutgers students in the new Creative Expression and the Environment interdisciplinary minor. Using a variety of media, the works provoke questions about one’s relationship with the environment. Napoleon: A Visual Legacy of Power Napoleon Bonaparte rose to power during the tumultuous period following the 1789 French Revolution. In the decades following his removal from power in 1815, his image endured in French art and popular culture, featuring works that both celebrated and satirized his ongoing presence in the French imagination. This exhibition explores images of him made after his death, revealing the ways art is intertwined with history and can be used to reinforce or challenge accepted narratives.
