Rhapsody in Hue

Music moves us physically and emotionally. It generates mood, ideas and energy. Music heals and activates our minds in ways we are still discovering today. What else does music do? It often informs art. In this exhibit we invited artists that understand this connection to explore the inspiration music has on their work. What do artists listen to when creating? How does music manifest in their work? As we celebrate the 101st year of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, let us also celebrate the power of music across creative disciplines and admire how brush, chisel and pencil often dance in response to its call. Join us on October 11th 5-7pm to see what the artists have heard and said during the opening reception. Curated by Janet Fagan.

Coyote & the Monsters Yet to Slay

RYAN! Feddersen

Coyote & the Monsters Yet to Slay is a series of artworks which address contemporary social issues through the lens of Plateau storytelling. This solo exhibition of work by artist and Colville Tribe member Ryan Feddersen explores Coyote’s role as a monster slayer, and proposes modern day people-devouring monsters for Coyote to symbolically vanquish. Reflecting both the present and nods to traditional stories, the works are laced with humor, play, and imaginative symbolism. This body of work was supported by the NDN Collective’s Radical Imagination Grant. Feddersen will exhibit prints created in residency at Crow’s Shadow Art Institute and the Institute of American Indian Arts, glass vessels made at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, and a new large-scale mixed-media work on paper.
