Sara Bates

My artwork addresses nature and culture, the potential for art to promote global environmental change through action, and the role of the artist from diverse cultures in this process. It also is about self transformation and may allow participatory transformation for the viewer.

1990-95, Director of Exhibitions and Programs for American Indian Contemporary Arts. I was responsible for curating and organizing 41 exhibitions, including: Indian Humor, Native America: Reflecting Contemporary Realities; and The Spirit of Native American (which toured 11 venues in Mexico, South ad Central America).
