Action X Community X Togetherness
May 6–September 10, 2017
Former Native Arts Artists-in-Residence Walt Pourier , Melanie Yazzie, and Gregg Deal are returning to the museum for a one-of-a-kind collaborative project called Action X Community X Togetherness.
For the artists, the alumni residency offers a unique opportunity for cocreating. Though they work with their own unique mediums and styles, the trio was quick to find a central theme for this residency: art as a call to action and a catalyst for change.
Their exploration of this theme will drive a variety of joint projects including talks, tours, and workshops at Untitled Final Fridays (May 26, June 30, July 28, August 25), demonstrations at Free First Saturdays (May 6, June 3), and hands-on artmaking at the Friendship Powwow and American Indian Cultural Celebration (September 9).
