Contemporary Native Voices: Prints From Crow’s Shadow
Institute of the Arts

In collaboration with the Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts and The Dalles Art Center

“Contemporary Native Voices showcases prints created at Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts by local and regional Native artists. Prints will be shown at both Columbia Center for the Arts and The Dalles Art Center. Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts is located on the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in the foothills of Oregon’s Blue Mountains. Crow’s Shadow is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization formed in 1992 by local artists James Lavadour (Chinook and Walla Walla) and Phillip Cash Cash (Cayuse and Nez Perce). Their mission is to provide a creative conduit for educational, social, and economic opportunities for Native Americans through artistic development. Over the last 24 years Crow’s Shadow has evolved into a world-class studio focused on contemporary fine art printmaking.

This exhibit seeks to acknowledge, honor, and celebrate the original inhabitants of this land and create space for diverse regional contemporary Native voices.”
