THINGS TO DO
Weaving American Indian Stories shown in Surprise
Arts HQ exhibit up through April 7
(Submitted photo)
Chelsea Bighorn was born and raised in Tempe. Her tribal affiliations are the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux tribes from Montana and the Shoshone-Paiute from Northern Nevada. Bighorn’s hand cut paper art works are the result of her combining traditional Native American design elements with the concept of traditional stained glass windows. This is on display during the Weaving Amercian Indian Stories exhibit at Arts HQ.
A visual art exhibition, Weaving American Indian Stories, opened March 11 at Arts HQ Gallery, 16126 N Civic Center Plaza.
Featuring local indigenous artists, the exhibit captures cultural perspective through contemporary 2D works. Running through April 7 at Arts HQ, the exhibit is also free and open to the public.
The exhibit is a key component of WVAC’s IMPRINT: Elevating Cultural Diversity in the Arts program, which is a series of annual exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and celebrations recognizing artists of color in and around the Valley.
Artists of color have made significant and positive contributions to the culture and communities through the arts, and WVAC seeks to highlight those impressions through ongoing activities and opportunities to engage with diverse perspectives, places and heritage.
West Valley Arts Council cultivates inclusive arts and culture in the West Valley by providing resources and fostering connections.
