Sičáŋǧu Lakota artist Dyani White Hawk is known for her intricate, abstract large-scale beadworks.
White Hawk ― arguably the busiest and most generous artist in town and a role model for many in Indigenous communities and beyond ― is the Minnesota Star Tribune’s 2025 Artist of the Year.
The internationally recognized artist and MacArthur “genius” grant winner has a 15-year retrospective of her work on exhibition at the Walker Art Center, recently installed an eight-panel stained glass work at the University of Minnesota’s Chemistry Undergraduate Teaching Lab and received a 2025 Vision Award from the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District.
