Implementation of a traveling exhibition, a catalog, and associated programs about Tlingit art and culture.

The Portland Art Museum seeks support in the amount of $400,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities for the implementation of the traveling exhibition The Art of Resilience: A Continuum of Tlingit Arts, opening at the Portland Art Museum in October 2017. Organized by the Portland Art Museum and curated by Deana Dartt, Ph.D., Curator of Native American Art, the exhibition will comprise 100 objects drawn from the Museum’s world-class Rasmussen Collection of Northwest Coast Native American Art with fifty contemporary works by primarily Tlingit Native artists. Accompanying the exhibition will be a hard-bound, full color, multi-author publication.
