The Booth Western Art Museum is proud to present 30 @ 30: 30 Native Artists, 30 Artworks, Made in Their 30s, a special exhibition curated by acclaimed Indigenous artist Tony Abeyta (Diné/Navajo). Opening on November 7, 2026, the exhibition brings together works by 30 contemporary Native American artists currently in their 30s, alongside select examples by influential artists whose breakthrough achievements emerged during the same pivotal stage of their careers.
