Much to celebrate in Native art in 2025!

Reflecting on all of the amazing Indigenous art happenings and exhibitions in 2025 has been a balm to the soul in a year filled with challenges. Despite efforts to crush free expression, Native artists, curators, tribes, and art advocates have pushed forward with inspiring projects.

Here is a selection of incredible events that the FAAM team selected through anonymous voting.

We’d love to hear your favorites for the year (feel free to share in the comments)!
