2nd Saturday Reception for DECOLONIZATION

Saturday, January 11th

5-9 PM

Join us for our first exhibition opening of 2025!

Verge Center for the Arts is proud to present DECOLONIZATION, a solo show of work by visionary artist Spencer Keeton Cunningham. Cunningham is an enrolled member of the Colville Tribe from the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation in Northeastern Washington. In his new work, Cunningham explores themes both autobiographical and societal in form from Decolonization and cultural archetypes to reservation life and alternate American Indian histories. In the past 22 years of his professional art career Cunningham continues to develop a unique visual language laced with humor, satire, and a tenacity to paint a vivid portrait of an ongoing colonization of North America. His work has earned him a place in the contemporary art world where he resides like a lone wolf.

Cunningham’s paintings for this show reach a mountainous 20ft tall, dwarfing the viewer with gargantuan works of art. Come immerse yourself in this incredible art experience!
