it takes a long time to stay here: Paintings by Jordan Ann Craig at Newcomb Art Museum

Hales is pleased to share that Jordan Ann Craig’s solo exhibition, it takes a long time to stay here: Paintings by Jordan Ann Craig is now on view at Newcomb Art Museum, Tulane University (New Orleans, LA), through 16 January 2026. The exhibition originated at the Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University (Evanston, IL), and is currently traveling the U.S., supported by Art Bridges.

 

The show features large-scale abstract paintings that reflect Craig’s engagement with Indigenous, especially Northern Cheyenne, aesthetic traditions and her dynamic and innovative exploration of color, line, and geometric form. Craig’s practice often begins with research in museum collections and archives—studying, learning from, and engaging in a dialogue with traditional Indigenous artistic forms, such as beadwork, pottery, and textiles. She also draws inspiration from the landscape of what is now the Southwestern United States, where she lives and works.  

 

On September 19th, 6 - 8.30pm, the museum will host a public reception featuring an artist talk with Jordan Ann Craig and poet, m.s. RedCherries. Learn more here.
