Description
This exhibition celebrates the legacy of Lambert Wilson, a passionate collector of contemporary Native American art who encountered a beloved Cherokee sculpture as a student at Western Carolina University and decided to devote his life to supporting and encouraging Native artists. Wilson amassed an extensive collection during his lifetime, focusing primarily on artists of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Cherokee Nation, and sovereign nations of the Southwest. Over 140 works on view tell the story of the relationships he built and the impact that he made by dedicating himself to this remarkable collection. Parking is free for this event at Bardo Arts Center.
