First Fridays with the Coe Side-by-Side Artists Program
The Coe Center invites you to experience behind-the-scenes access to over 2,300 works of global indigenous art on the first Friday of each month, 1-4 pm. We share the entire collection with you through artist-led programming and guided tours by Coe staff and volunteers. Beginning in March 2022, a monthly artist will “host” First Fridays by sharing with you through the pieces they select from the collection, or creating artworks, and/or leading conversations on related topics. Meet the works of art, staff, and volunteers!
$500 provides for artist honorariums and supplies.

- $2,000 supports an intern (high school student), a three-month program.
- $3,000 supports a Coe Fellowship (college student or graduate), a three-month program.

“All my life I’ve relied on this measured process of aesthetic absorption, whether the work is a Renaissance Plaquette or a Native American wearing blanket. It involves returning over and again to the individual work of art. I revisit and bear constantly in mind the objects of my own collection, however large or small, to gain new insights. They are not trophies but instruments of passion with the power to unexpectedly reveal mysteries.” —Ralph T. Coe
