The exhibition offers a chance to view work by several generations of artists, including master artists who have influenced artists who are currently creating new works. Not to be missed are self portraits by Fritz Scholder and R.C. Gorman, which give insight to their exceptional lives. Scholder is considered the most influential, prolific, and controversial figure in contemporary Native art. Gorman was once referred to as "the Picasso of American art" by the New York Times. The exhibition also features several busts by legendary modernist sculptor Allan Houser.

Houser was the first member of his family from the Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache tribe born outside of captivity since Geronimoís 1886 surrender, and the tribe's imprisonment by the US government. His sculptural work continues to influence the current generation of American artists and sculptors, and can be seen up-close in this exhibition. Marla Allison's "Mother," a multi-media painting of her mother, Sharon Allison, incorporates a digital DVD player into the top right side of the canvas. The image is in what appears to be a photograph hung on the wall, hung behind her mother, who appears sitting in a chair embroidering.

For all she has done, how her life was brought to be, I could not cover it all in one painting without the help of the multi-media aspect. The use of digital media was my alternative to making a series of paintings. This painting not only shows where I came from but also my mother and where our family found their roots on the matrilineal side of my family,î says the artist who is both Anglo and American Indian. Allison is currently working on a companion piece portrait of her father. "Mother," won Best of Class for Innovation at last summer's SWAIA Indian Market.
