It's not often that an exhibition pulls you in so deeply and emotionally while delivering it humorously, but that is exactly what happens when you enter John Feoderov's "Memories of a Suburban Ind'n" currently at Western Washington University's Western Gallery.
In celebration of the contributions of Indigenous artists and cultures, Native Arts 360 presents this exhibition of some of the most impactful art from our family of artists.

Each year, the Eiteljorg selects several Native American artists from across the United States and Canada to share their talents with the local community. Selected artists receive an honorarium and work closely with staff to plan and carry out demonstrations, workshops, discussions, and community projects. Residency lengths vary, but range from one and three weeks in duration. APPLY HERE
