Nebizun: Water is Life draws its inspiration from Native American Grandmothers who have been doing water walks to pray for the water, and the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act.
Join us at Stone Valley Arts as we celebrate the work of 8 American Abenaki Artists. These Artists have woven together their heritage into traditional and contemporary American Abenaki Fine Art, available for viewing, interaction, and for purchase.
The Artists Reception is a special opportunity to meet some of the artists behind this diverse body of work and connect with local native community.
