Visions from the Land: A Celebration

Celebrate the art of four regional Indigenous artists showing their work in the Arboretum’s Reedy Gallery at a special celebration for “Visions from the Land: Native Interpretations,” an exhibit that runs through March 26. Each artist — James Autio, Gordon Coons, Anna Johnson and Ivy Vainio — uses a different technique or process to produce captivating art inspired by the natural world.

During the celebration, enjoy:

• Light hor’s d’oeuvres and beverages from Pow Wow Grounds, which specializes in Indigenous cuisines.
• Tours of the Reedy Gallery with the artists throughout the day.
• A Meet & Greet with artist Ramona Morrow, recognized nationally for her beadwork, jewelry and cattail dolls.
• At noon: A panel discussion with the Indigenous artists facilitated by Wendy DePaolis, the Arboretum’s Curator of Art and Sculpture.
• At 1 and 2 p.m.: The art of Native American storytelling in the round with noted storyteller Hope Flanagan.
