Curve! Women Carvers on the Northwest Coast is co-curated by artist Dana Claxton and the Audain’s director and chief curator, Curtis Collins.

It’s an expansive show featuring work from the 1950s to the current moment. Some of the most startling pieces are also some of the oldest, notably work from late Kwakwaka’wakw carver Ellen Neel, leading Haida carver Freda Diesing and late Gitxsan artist, carver and activist Doreen Jensen.
