Native Arts 360's a.i.m. is to promote Indigenous art and culture year round so we collectively expand what it means to celebrate Indigenous peoples contributions beyond the month: acknowledge and appreciate the beauty of the original peoples as they deserve to be.
Join us for the Native Arts 360 exhibit "Thriving" in collaboration with COf& in celebration of Indigenous Peoples' Day in the lead up to Native American Heritage month through the month of October 2023 opening Friday, October 6 at noon.
Lummi and Nooksack artist Jason LaClair, Savannah LeCornu ( Tsimshian, Haida, Nez Perce) and Kaa Shayee (Tlingit) will share their bold designs in vibrant palettes - with highly disciplined Coast Salish and form line design incorporated into their epic stylized visions.
Two of Whatcom county's extraordinarily talented artists sold their art for this Labor Day market at Fringe Brewing. On a laid back end of summer warm day Jason LaClair of Lummi and Kaa Shayee, a Tlingit artist local to the area, boldly displayed their phenomenal Coast Salish and line form design through jewelry, prints and stickers. The two artists had recently wrapped up their 160' "Indigiversal" mural at Waypoint Park in Bellingham, WA, positively moving beyond some of the controversy due to how the artists were treated by the Paper Whale organizers of the event.
