Jeremy Frey (born 1978, Passamaquoddy Indian Township Reservation, Maine) is one of the foremost Passamaquoddy artists of his generation. Working with customary materials such as brown ash and sweetgrass, Frey introduces new materials, unique forms, and fine weaving techniques while maintaining a strong connection to the traditional roots of his practice.  

Frey won Best of Show at the Santa Fe Indian Market in 2011, marking the first time a basket maker achieved this honor in the market’s ninety-year history. That same year, Frey won Best of Show at the Heard Museum Indian Guild Fair and Market in Phoenix, Arizona, which he would repeat in 2015. Frey’s work is held in the public collections of the Portland Museum of Art, Maine; Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois; Denver Art Museum, Colorado; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC; Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, VA; the Colby College Museum of Art, Waterville, ME, among others.
