Bradley Pecore
Museum Studies major
Institute of American Indian Arts

Bradley Antone Pecore, a Menominee/Mohican native of Wisconsin, grew up on the Stockbridge-Munsee reservation. In his youth he developed an interest in sculpture and painting. Though his academic career started in health, he always wanted to attend Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Funds from the American Indian College Fund allowed him to pursue his dream.

In addition to creating his own art, Bradley is equally interested in art theory and repatriation of Native artifacts issues. After his junior year at IAIA, he successfully served an internship at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where he conducted two Native American art lectures.

Bradley has always had an appreciation for contemporary and traditional Native art and intends to use his B.A. in Museum Studies to segue into graduate school. He plans to become a professor of Art History.
