Summary by The Nashville Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by Laura Hutson Hunter, Nashville Scene (alt-weekly) · July 22, 2026 · 1 min read

Mary Sully and Kimowan Metchewais are two of the exhibition’s most fascinating artists

Why this matters in The Nashville

The inclusion of Mary Sully and Kimowan Metchewais in the Frist's 'An Indigenous Present' exhibition brings a unique perspective to Nashville's art scene. As the city continues to grow and diversify, exhibitions like this one play a crucial role in showcasing the work of underrepresented artists. The Frist's effort to highlight indigenous artists can help foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Native American culture in the community. By featuring artists like Sully and Metchewais, the exhibition provides an opportunity for Nashville residents to engage with the diverse experiences and perspectives of indigenous peoples. This exhibition can also spark conversations about the city's own relationship with its Native American heritage, and how it can better support and celebrate the local indigenous community. As the exhibition runs its course, it will be interesting to see how it resonates with the community and what impact it has on the local art scene.
