🌟 We are thrilled to announce Osage Nation member Norman Akers as the first recipient of the Edgar Heap of Birds Family Artist Residency!

Akers, a University of Kansas professor who uses cartographic imagery in paintings and prints to reference the history of a changing Indigenous landscape, joins Tyler this week for five months to explore new creative frontiers and engage with our community through his powerful work.

The residency is endowed by a gift from Tyler alum and multimedia artist, educator, and activist Edgar Heap of Birds (MFA '79), one of the most prominent Native American artists in contemporary art today. It provides an opportunity for an artist to expand their studio practice while offering access to state-of-the art facilities.

🎨 Follow us to stay tuned as we share updates on his journey with us, insights into his practice, and the incredible art he will undoubtedly create during the residency, which will culminate with an exhibition in fall 2025.
