On Friday, March 29, 2024, the Urban Native Collective partnered with the Cincinnati Art Museum to host Art After Dark: Native Visions, an evening celebrating contemporary Native American and Indigenous Pacific-Rim art.

DJ Creepingbear performed a set, entertaining over one thousand guests with upbeat music in the Grand Hall, while artist Leonard Harmon captivated audiences with a live painting performance. Harmon’s piece, a reimagining of a historically problematic sign interwoven with iconic Cincinnati landmarks, featured the phrase “On a warpath for change,” symbolizing the presence and strength of the Native community. The artwork, which transformed an object of harm into a call for understanding and reconciliation, was raffled off to a community member during the event.

Guests also enjoyed food from the Indigenous Chef food truck and explored the museum's exhibitions. The extraordinary exhibition Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass was the feature of the event, showcasing 120 works by 33 artists blending traditional stories with the expressive potential of glass artwork. The exhibition included works by artists like Preston Singletary (Tlingit) and Dan Friday (Lummi), who explore themes of identity, resilience, belonging. The event highlighted the vitality of contemporary Indigenous art, blending tradition with modern expression.
