Dorado 806 Projects, in collaboration with Desert Style AZ, is pleased to present Frontier Futurism, a group exhibition exploring how Western iconography is being reshaped in today’s culture through evolving perspectives on identity, place, and popular culture. Featuring painting, sculpture, and mixed media, the works spotlight a future-forward take on cowboy aesthetics, desert mysticism, and the post-frontier era. The artists revisit American Western culture through the lens of migration, mythmaking, and shifting notions of belonging in a changing political landscape. Curated by: Amelie Laurice and Ruth Price.
