Miami Showcase | December 2024
During Art Basel Miami, the Walker Youngbird Foundation officially launched with a celebration honoring its inaugural grantee, Muscogee-Creek artist George Alexander. The event marked both the foundation’s public debut and a milestone moment in George’s career, spotlighting his bold and visionary practice at the heart of one of the world’s most influential art gatherings.
The energy in the room reflected both excitement and intention, as artists, curators, and cultural leaders came together to celebrate Native excellence. Notable attendees included fellow artists Nicholas Galanin, Tony Abeyta, Jaque Fragua, and Nico Williams, alongside a broad network of friends and colleagues from the art world.
George’s work opened up conversations around identity, legacy, and contemporary Indigenous experience—reminding us why this kind of support and platform-building matters. As the first grantee of the Walker Youngbird Foundation, George set a high bar for the future, leading with clarity, generosity, and artistic integrity.
