Nicholas Galanin (Tlingit-Unangax̂), a multidisciplinary artist, musician, and member of the Sitka Tribe of Alaska, has been awarded the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art’s Don Tyson Prize. The biennial $200,000 award recognizes outstanding contributions to American art.
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.
