The Arts

Inspired by the extraordinary textiles on view in “Collecting Stories: Native American Art,” join curators for an exploration of the MFA’s most significant acquisitions of works by indigenous artists who spannned the deserts of the Southwest to the Woodlands of the Northeast. Curators Dennis Carr, Carolyn and Peter Lynch Curator of Decorative Arts and Sculpture; Layla Bermeo, Kristin and Roger Servison Assistant Curator of American Paintings; and Jennifer Swope, Assistant Curator, Textile and Fashion Arts, discuss the historic context of these objects and the living traditions that they represent.
