Native American Artists Showcase From the Source at the Ink People’s Tuxford Gallery Opens Arts Alive November

The Ink People Center for the Arts will be featuring an exhibition of artwork produced by local Native artists during this weekend's Eureka Arts Alive. From the Source, brings together both traditional arts like basketry and beadwork and contemporary forms of expression like sculpture, painting, ceramics, photographs and drawings. The list of artists descend from many of our local tribal peoples including Yurok, Hupa, Karuk, Tolowa and Wiyot. Native artists from throughout California and beyond will also be included. Visitors to the Ink People's Brenda Tuxford Gallery will have an opportunity to see both emerging  and more well-known artists of our local region including Tripp, Risling, Lang, and Tuttle. 

From the Source recalls a long-standing series of very popular exhibitions that were held through the 1990s and into the 2000's as a collaboration between the United Indian Health Services, the Seventh Generation Fund and the Ink People Center for the Arts. The goal of this collaboration was to feature the creative spirit of Native people, and the healing spirit of art itself. The current iteration of these exhibits strives to help rekindle that healing energy for us all. 

There will be an artists reception during Eureka Arts Alive on November 2, 2019 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., with the show continuing during regular Tuxford Gallery hours until Saturday November 30th at 6:00 p.m..
