Mittens at Sunrise, 1936 by James SwinnertonShadows on the Mesa – Artists of the Painted Desert and Beyond
February 11 – May 28, 2012

A remote guest ranch south of Monument Valley was established in 1910  and attracted a veritable who’s who of prominent early twentieth century artists working on the Colorado Plateau who believed the land and people of northern Arizona had a profound influence on their work. This exhibit features 57 paintings by the artists who stayed at the guest ranch from 1919 to 1941 and laid the foundation for what we now consider to be Southwestern art.

Between 2006 and 2009, the National Park Service (NPS) and the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) completed the largest excavation and research project in Grand Canyon National Park in nearly 40 years. Nine sites along the Colorado River at the Canyon bottom were investigated, revealing important stories about the lives of prehistoric peoples who made the Grand Canyon their home. Grand Archaeology: Excavation and Discovery along the Colorado River tells these stories and how the exploration team discovered them.
