Currently on View: Comic Art Indigene
Through May 29, 2012, the Rockwell Museum of Western Art presents Comic Art Indigène, an exhibition which examines the influence of comic strips and comic books on contemporary Native American Art. Inspired by comics, using its icons, tropes and dynamism, this is a new world of American Indian art, full of the brash excitement first seen on newsprint a century ago, sometimes unrefined, even crude at times, but never sterile. Comic Art Indigène has toured the U.S. and has been exhibited at such prestigious institutions as the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. and the Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Springs, California.

Just for Families
Kids and Teens (19 & under) FREE!

Become a detective along the Art Trail! From gallery art hunts to backpacking activities through the West, families can explore the Museum's collection together through a variety of daily drop-in activities!

In addition to the comic art exhibition, visitors can make their own drawings and comics and post them on a light table! There is also an area to read contemporary Native comic books.

See the West come to life! The Rockwell Museum of Western Art is an unexpected immersion into the Western experience from the moment you enter! The Rockwell Museum of Western Art is nationally recognized for its one-of-a-kind collection of Western and Native American art. Famous Western masterworks and contemporary new looks of the West round-out three full floors of American Western and Native American art and culture.

"Born of Fire" - Southwestern pottery self-guided tour available every day throughout GlassFest! To celebrate the Fire Arts, this self-guided tour highlights the Native American pottery, bronze and glass in the Museum's permanent collection. The commonality between the objects included in this tour is that they were all "born of fire." We hope you discover other treasures along the way. Enjoy your Journey West!
