The Art of Collaboration in Native American Artistry with Collective Wisdom

What happens when the rich tapestry of Native American art meets a unique platform that fosters collaboration, diversity, and community? We've got the answers for you in this awe-inspiring conversation with Kristin Gentry, Tom Farris, and Natalie Standingcloud of the Collective Wisdom, a traveling exhibition that showcases the talents of first American artists. Join us as we dive headfirst into their artistic journeys, from Tom’s childhood surrounded by art-loving parents and his mastery of the business side of art, to Kristin’s deep-rooted connection to art via her Choctaw lineage, and Natalie's budding journey in the art world.

We're going beyond the canvas to explore the essence of art and community in the Collective Wisdom exhibition. Can you picture the camaraderie that's fostered when artists work together? We'll share their experiences, the lessons learned, and the beautiful art born out of their collaborations. Discover how the exhibition has become a platform for these artists to express their cultural identities and narratives through their art, and how humor becomes a powerful tool in sparking conversations about Native American culture.

But that's not all! We're also revealing how the Collective Wisdom exhibition has bridged gaps within the community. Hear about how these artists took advantage of a non-competitive atmosphere to learn from each other, push boundaries, and grow creatively. It’s not every day you get to hear about the intersection of art, culture, and community from those who live it. So, prepare to be inspired by the commitment of these artists to creating art that carries on Native American stories and symbolisms, and stay with us to the end for an uplifting discussion on the future of Native American art.
