The Jacobson House Native Art Center will host its 2025 biennial art show, opening 6 p.m. Friday at 609 Chautauqua Ave.
The regional exhibition highlights Native American artists from across Oklahoma and features live music by Chebon Tiger, along with an awards presentation recognizing Best of Show, People’s Choice and the Visionary Award.
This year’s jurors include America Meredith, a Cherokee Nation artist and publishing editor of “First American Art Magazine,” and Brent Greenwood, a Ponca and Chickasaw artist and director of fine arts for Chickasaw Nation.
“The organization is committed to hosting a large, intertribal, open-call art show at the Jacobson House every two years,” said EJ Sweetly, chairwoman of the Oscar Jacobson Foundation, in a press release Tuesday. “It’s a sustainable commitment that ensures we continue our mission to cultivate emergent and master Indigenous artists while honoring the legacy of work done at the Jacobson House over 100 years ago by Dr. Oscar Jacobson and the Kiowa Six.”
The biennial exhibition evolved from the 2023 open-call show “Twenty-First Century,” organized by the Oscar Jacobson Foundation.
The opening reception is free and open to the public. The exhibit will remain on display through Dec. 19. Beginning in November, gallery hours will be 1 to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Visitors can schedule educational tours or private viewings by emailing jacobsonhouse@gmail.com.
