The Carnegie Arts Center in Alliance is currently featuring artwork from Native American artists from around the county. The  artwork is on loan from the Heritage Center from the Red Cloud Indian School.

Kyren Gibson is the Executive Director of the Carnegie Arts Center and says that Red Cloud was on a hiatus from renting exhibits since 2020 and that it's great to have their pieces back in Alliance.

"They've been purchasing art from Native American artists from across the nation since 1975," Gibson said. "They loaned it out to us, so we have 56 pieces from 37 different artists and the pieces date back to 1997 to 2023."

Gibson says the exhibits are very diverse with a wide range of subject matter. The range and from sculptural pieces, paintings, ledger paper art and mixed media.  The exhibits find the art in the upper gallery of the Carnegie Arts Center until the middle of September.
