Our featured Artists
Charles Rencountre
“Not Afraid to Look” is a sculpture erected at the Sacred Stone Camp on the Missouri River during the Standing Rock resistance gathering. The sculpture emerged from an “effigy pipe," originally carved and used at the end of the 17th century.
Rabbett Strickland
Rabbett Strickland's paintings introduce viewers to Nanabozhoo, who first appeared to the artist in his dreams. Nanabozhoo is a complex character from Ojibwe mythology, both of the Earth and a creator of all things and creatures on Earth.
