Crow's Shadow is excited to present an invitational group exhibition of works by artists who attend bi-annual monotype printmaking sessions in the studio. Returning highlights a selection of remarkable works made in the Crow’s Shadow studio outside of the artist residencies. These ten printmakers have been coming to the studio for about eight years; initially for more structured workshop retreats organized through the Pacific Northwest College of Art’s Community Education program, and more recently, through renting the studio as an independent collective. They have developed a wonderful rapport with one another as well as the studio. Converging for these intensely generative studio sessions has also enriched their individual art practices, providing lasting motivation as they return to their homes across Oregon and Washington.

Viewed together, the prints in Returning share a deep connection through the place where they were made; with many of the artists drawing inspiration from the landscapes and colors of Eastern Oregon.

Artwork will be on display October 13 to November 16, 2018 at Crow’s Shadow. Opening reception is on Saturday, October 13, from 4:00-6:00 pm.

First Peoples Fund, a Native-led nonprofit that supports Indigenous artists across the country, recently selected artist, Fox Spears (Karuk) to receive a $7,500 grant as part of its Artist in Business Leadership grant program.

“We are proud to continue to grow our First Peoples Fund family,” said Lori Pourier (Oglala Lakota), president. “We believe in the power of artists and artist entreprenuers, because when they grow as individuals, the illuminate a pathway for others to follow. Their success creates a ripple effect that reaches out to their families, their communties and beyond.”

Both fellowship programs aim to increase artists’ capacity to succeed and create impact in their communities. This year, the two programs selected a total of 25 Native artists from all across the country to be awarded fellowships.

First Peoples Fund, based in Rapid City, South Dakota, focuses on honoring and supporting the essential role of artists and culture bearers within Indigenous communities. In addition to their fellowship and grants programs, First Peoples Fund also helps support the inclusion of the arts in communities through values-based workshops, community arts classes, youth programming and nation-wide partnerships with other organizations invested in the arts.

First Peoples Fund fellowships are supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Bush Foundation, Margaret A.
