Artist Talk with Ben Pease

aug 24, 2023 at 5:30 PM

Join us for an artist talk with Ben Pease, one of our featured artists from The Night at the Yellowstone Art Museum Gala and Auction. Inspired by a photograph of Crow elders at the Inauguration of the First Crow Indian Baptist Day School in location, this work by Ben Pease includes deeply personal and historical references. The story of the school intersects with Pease’s own family story as his great-grandmother was a student. In much of his artwork, Pease considers the legacy of colonization and the mistreatment of Native communities on current and future generations.

The Artist Talk is free to the public and museum admission is free on Thursdays from 5 – 8 PM.
