Material Shift showcases work by 13 Haudenosaunee artists who employ found objects and other unconventional materials to create or illustrate traditional cultural objects or concepts and those who, conversely, explore traditional materials in unexpected ways. Works range from playful to provocative. These events are made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Institute of Museum & Library Services, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, and friends and members of the Iroquois Museum.

Trash Chic!, at The Sketchbook Gallery, is a celebration of creativity that transforms the often discarded, overlooked, and thrown away. This diverse group of artists challenge the ideas of value, beauty, and permanence while highlighting the potential within what we throw away. We invite viewers to reconsider what “trash”is and discover how imagination can turn trash into something striking, meaningful, and new.

This exhibition is in conjunction with Matter Out of Place at Jane St. Art.

This exhibition brings together six invited artists who work with found objects, transforming overlooked materials into works of new meaning and possibility. Through the process of reimagining, these artists advocate for environmental concerns, drawing attention to using discarded materials while approaching their own creative practices with intentionality and care.

The exhibition is presented in conjunction with Trash Chic! at The Sketchbook Gallery.
