Native American Art from Gilcrease Museum
On display November 23, 2024 through January 19, 2025
Past Forward: Native American Art from Gilcrease Museum surveys more than 3,000 years of Indigenous art, encompassing fine art along with archaeological and archival materials. The exhibition presents 76 works whose visual motifs and shared systems of knowledge connect disparate ancestries, time, and space. It explores the transhistorical themes of ceremony, sovereignty, visual abstraction, and identity, telling the story of the U.S. through art that emphasizes Native cultures and the history of the American West.
This exhibition has been co-organized by the American Federation of Arts and Gilcrease Museum

The Four Arts Celebrates Gil Maurer
On display November 23, 2024 through March 30, 2025
Gil Maurer, a Four Arts trustee and force for growth and creativity at Hearst for over 50 years, is more than a visionary leader in media and communication — he has a passion for the arts and is an artist himself. Gil’s preferred medium is watercolor, which he appreciates for its portability and easy cleanup. His subjects vary from architectural studies to landscapes and the people around him, but what unites his disparate works is a sense of place and context. Gil’s paintings bring together his passions for art and communication. The Four Arts honors his leadership and commitment to the arts and the civic values of Palm Beach in this presentation of some of his most notable paintings.
