Art can be meditation, expression, activism, and escape. It can also be a career. The Oscar Howe Summer Art Institute in Vermillion helps guide the next generation of artists interested in American Indian culture.

Internationally renowned artists Jaune Quick-to-See Smith and Neil Ambrose Smith are in Vermillion for the Institute.

Jaune Quick-to-See Smith has been featured and reviewed in every major art publication. She's had more than 100 solo exhibits in the past 40 years. Her work is in the collections of the Walker in Minneapolis, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C., and the Museum of Modern Art.

Neal Ambrose Smith is a contemporary Native American painter, sculptor, printmaker, and Professor at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He has also developed an Artist Ideas app with 100 ideas for making art, available for Android and Apple. His work is included in the collections of many national and international museums and institutions, including the New York Public Library, the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, and more.
