Native American contemporary art in
the Impacted Nations exhibit currently at the Dahl Arts Center is
powerful commentary about environmental issues on Native lands.
This panel discussion will explore
how modern Native art has become a tool for change. It will showcase
how art & artists can change the world through awareness. The goal
of the panel discussion is "to bring awareness of modern native art
& awareness to its contemporary messages."
We invite the traditional art
community, policy makers, corporations & the general public to join
us for this provocative & informative event.
Confirmed speakers are Dwayne
Wilcox (artist), Don Montileaux (artist), Neal Ambrose-Smith
(artist), and Robert Cook (Cultural

of Episode 1 - Romance and Episode 2 - Protest with an open forum discussion and
wine bar in the theater.

Why is THAT art?! The Looking at Art
Series to help everyone understand the Who when where what and WHY of art!
Do you find yourself not understanding what contemporary artists are
thinking? How could drip paintings be art? Why does any of it matter
anyway? The visual arts can be difficult for us to understand. The Dahl
Arts Center invites you to come to the Looking at Art series, where local
artists and educators will take the general public through a guided tour of
visual art. In a relaxed and open environment you can begin to understand
for yourself the art that you see, from DaVinci and Picasso to regional
artists and world tribal arts.
Seating is limited, please call 394-4101 for reservations.
