Impact Report
In 2022, we published our 30th Anniversary Report. Between 2017 and 2023, we editioned and signed 1,365 prints, 220 people participated in Indigenous Arts workshops, and 28 Nixya’awii students sold prints to the public.
We generated $340,000+ of income for artists through print sales and were part of 24 prominent exhibitions, including the Whitney Biennial (NY). 52 of our prints have been collected by the Library of Congress, 120 by the The Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation, and over 150 by other institutions and museums including the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, and the National Museum of the American Indian.
As we look back on our accomplishments, we are honored to share this report with you and eager to plan Crow's Shadow's future with our community.
