Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport partnered with Oneida Nation Arts Program to install 22 pieces of artwork across the airport from eight Indigenous artists from the Oneida community.
The artwork includes media such as acrylic paintings, historical photographs, textiles, beadwork, sculptures, and basketry. The artists selected for this exhibit were the 2024 Woodland Indian Art Show & Market winners, along with Oneida’s 2024 National Treasures.
“The experience that visitors receive is thanks to the many partnerships and contributions of local vendors who help make GRB the perfect first stop while they explore our community,” said Airport Director Marty Piette. “The GRB Art Program gives us the chance to promote local artists, and the Oneida Nation is one of the amazing partners eager to highlight their beautiful work.”
The artwork was installed at the beginning of March and will be on display during the NFL Draft. The Grand Lobby will include one display case, and each concourse will include display cases along with wall hanging space.
“We’re excited to work together to highlight the amazing talent and vibrant culture of our local Indigenous communities,” said Oneida Nation Arts Program Supervisor Gabrielle Metoxen. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for us to share some Haudenosaunee art and traditions with travelers exploring Green bay, and we truly appreciate this opportunity.
