Crow’s Shadow is announcing two upcoming collaborative projects with the A. Susana Santos’ Journeys in Creativity Program.
The program, held each summer through the Oregon College of Art and Craft, offers 12 teenagers the chance to embark on a 14-day journey through the world of Native American art and culture. Participants reside on the OCAC campus and take part in hands-on art workshops, cross-cultural experiences and field trips to local museums and galleries. Past instructors for the program have included several Crow’s Shadow artists, including Phillip John Charette, Lillian Pitt, Wendy Red Star and Marie Watt.
Beginning Friday, January 13, Crow’s Shadow will host a gallery exhibit featuring student created works from the 2011 summer offering, which was themed the Art of the Canoe.
On Saturday, January 14, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Crow’s Shadow will conduct a monotype printmaking workshop for local Native students interested in the Journeys program. The workshop is sponsored by OCAC. Shirod Younker, Program Manager for the Journeys in Creativity program, will be on hand to talk about the program and answer questions for prospective students.
