About All My Relations Gallery

All My Relations Gallery is Minnesota's only American Indian owned and operated American Indian contemporary fine arts gallery. Founded in 1999, All My Relations Arts has a history of producing quality contemporary American Indian fine arts exhibits. First a project of the American Indian Business Development Corporation--later the American Indian Neighborhood Development Corporation, All My Relations Arts presented dozens of exhibits at Ancient Traders Gallery, which closed in 2010. All My Relations Arts became an initiative of the Native American Community Development Institute in 2010. The new All My Relations Gallery opened its new home January 2011 in the heart of the American Indian Cultural Corridor along Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis with the debut of never-before-seen paintings by the master artist Frank Big Bear.
