Sheldon Art Gallery Guided Tour Nov. 2025- April 2026

Description

The Sheldon Galleries will have on view the exhibition We Each Hold Stories from November 7, 2025 – May 2, 2026. We Each Hold Stories features 16 established and emerging Indigenous American artists co-curated by Tom Jones of the Ho-Chunk Nation and Paula Lincoln, The Sheldon Gallery Director. The work in the exhibition explores themes of personal experience, family, history, and current social issues. The artists reimagine their Native identity through storytelling, addressing land, community, and human behavior with a focus on healing and connection between past and present.
Tours are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and we can accommodate 35 students at one time. Groups with 70 students can be divided into two consecutive tours, totaling 60 minutes.
