Coastal Salish Art

Hi Docents,

 

Carving a Legacy: Innovation in Coast Salish Art is an exhibition that will be running from June 18th to September 25th 2005. This exhibition will examine ways in which contemporary Native American artists from the South Puget Sound region have built on Coast Salish art tradition while simultaneously implementing contemporary media and techniques in their work. The focal point of this exhibition will be an artists’ residency in which artists Shaun Peterson and Greg Colfax will be carving a welcome pole in the gallery.

The Seattle Art Museum currently has a show of Coast Salish storytelling and art that would be great to see as an independent study opportunity.  The show is running now and will be up until the downtown museum closes (there’s no exact posted date for that).

Have a good weekend,

Shannon
