Denver Art Museum will open ‘Storytellers: The Blackfeet Nation and Charles M. Russell’ on Sunday, 6 September.
The exhibition features more than 80 artworks by Charles M. Russell alongside ancestral artworks from the Blackfoot Confederacy (Nitsitapii), dating from the late 19th to the mid-20th centuries. Bringing the works into conversation, the exhibition considers aspects of Blackfoot art and culture, including a spiritual connection to bison, the contributions of Blackfeet women, and the roles of Blackfeet men as warriors and medicine men.
The exhibition is organized by the Denver Art Museum and presented by Tom and Jane Petrie. Additional support is provided by Mary Pat and Richard McCormick, Kent Thiry and Denise O’Leary, The Americana Foundation, the Wyeth Foundation for American Art, donors to the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign, and residents who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.
Entry is included with general admission; admission is free for members and visitors aged 18 and under.
