The Museum of Contemporary Native Arts is the country’s foremost institution for exhibiting, collecting and interpreting progressive work of contemporary Native artists. It encourages artists to explore radical thought and disruptive approaches to art making that address environmental and political issues. Exposure: Native Art and Political Ecology will explore the responses of Indigenous artists to the impact of nuclear testing and uranium mining on Native peoples and the environment. The exhibition aims to give international Indigenous artists a voice to address the long-term effects of man-made disasters in the forms of nuclear poisoning and uranium mining.

“The Warhol Foundation aims to support the full range of artistic activity in America—from exhibitions at major museums to neighborhood projects by artist collectives. Arts writers, through the range and specialization of their individual interests, touch upon all of this activity—illuminating and interrogating it and bringing it into conversation with the public. Support for artists is not complete without support for the circulation and serious consideration of their ideas. The Arts Writers Grant program keeps artists at the center of cultural dialogue and debate—in our opinion, right where they belong.”
