Two Rivers Gallery

People are loving the What Could Not Be Erased: Ledger Art exhibition! A big thanks to all our relatives who’ve already stopped by to see the exhibit. 🔥

The work by acclaimed Oglala Artist Joe Pulliam carries a powerful tradition of Lakota storytelling that is rooted in resistance, survival, and cultural continuity.

Joe takes records tied to colonial control and transforms them into powerful expressions of memory, identity, and sovereignty.

Come see Joe’s work while you can. It’s here until October 9.

Bonus: Along with Joe’s original paintings in the gallery, prints are available next door at Woodland Indian Crafts (Charlie’s shop).

We're busy prepping for the What Could Not Be Erased: Ledger Art exhibit. ✨

All are invited to join us for an opening reception next Friday, July 24, to celebrate the solo exhibition of acclaimed Oglala Lakota artist, Joe Pulliam. ❤

Meet the new Two Rivers Gallery Manager Alejandro Martinez!

Stop by the gallery to say hello. We’re open Tuesday - Friday from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

We had a blast making watercolors in our gallery space this week. Wóokiye wiŋ (Katie Bendickson) taught our youth how to make watercolor paint using natural earth pigments and Pipestone powder. 🎨🌿

A special guest -- Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan -- even stopped by and joined in the fun. ❤

We love these opportunities to make art more accessible for our youth, elders, and community. ✨

Thanks to the Boys and Girls Club of MAIC and the Native Youth Arts Collective (NYAC) for partnering!
