The Josephy Center’s third annual Native American Art Exhibit opens on June 4 at 5 p.m. The exhibit is a mixture of old and new Indian Art; twelve prints from Crow’s Shadow Institute of Art, including work from Lillian Pitt, Jim Demonie, Wendy Red Star, Rick Bartow and more; and historical regalia from private collections (Celeste Whitewolf and more)….The opening reception includes refreshments, music and libations, and will be in conjunction with the annual Joseph Art Walk, which goes from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.. The exhibit runs through June 28.
During the month of June we will have complimentary programs to the exhibit. First, Brown Bag Lunches will be held on three Tuesdays. First, June 7 we will be welcoming Nez Perce Fisheries; on June 14, Wil Phinney, editor of the Confederated Umatilla Journal. Finally, on June 21, at noon, we will show two 20-minute Nez Perce films “Of One Heart” and “Nez Perce: Portrait of a People.”
This year we welcome two Native artists in residence: Celeste Whitewolf and Allen Pinkham, Jr. Celeste will teach a basketry workshop from June 21-June 24, and Allen will be here at different times during the summer and fall to work on a traditional dug-out canoe. More news on this as the project grows.
