collection

Forge Project generates original, in-depth scholarly exhibitions on Native contemporary art that are developed out of its own collection and in partnership with values-aligned museums and institutions. These exhibitions are artist-centered, employ collective curatorial methodologies, feature material innovation, and engage the social history of artwork and artistic production.

The topics, histories, and artistic practices featured in Forge Project’s Exhibition Program are further explored and enlivened through public programming, with an aim to reach wide audiences and foster the production and documentation of knowledge. Collectively, Forge Project’s Exhibition Program seeks to broaden the canon of American art and invite institutions and publics into deeper engagement with Native art, artists, and art histories.
