SUMMARY:Nebizun: Water is Life Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Nebizun (alternately spelled Nebizon) is the Abenaki word for medicine and the root word Nebi is the Abenaki word for water. The rivers and tributaries of N’Dakinna (our homeland) were our highways for traveling and the water itself is important to the species of fish and other wildlife that is necessary to our way of life. As stewards of the environment Native American people know the importance of having clean water. The Abenaki people know and understand the importance of water in everyday activities related to foodways and healing powers of water. Nebizun: Water is Life draws its inspiration from Native American Grandmothers who have been doing water walks to pray for the water\, and from when the 50th anniversary of the Clean Water Act was celebrated. \n  \n \nVermont Abenaki Artists Association is supported by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ Cultural Sustainability program\, made possible by the Wallace Foundation.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Curve
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Curve: the American Abenaki COVID Experience reopens on June 7–July 19. \nGallery Hours\nThursday & Friday: 10am–5pm\nSaturday: 10am–3pm \nCost: Donations accepted – no charge for the exhibit \nCuratorial statement:\n“In March 2020\, the world stood still as businesses and schools around the world closed in response to the global pandemic. Broadcast media\, health\, and government officials repeated the daily mantra “Flatten the Curve.” Resources became scarce\, exposing health disparities and access issues that Native American families face across North America. Here in N’Dakinna (our homeland) Abenaki families turned to traditional medicines and other cultural practices for comfort and survival\, connecting with nature and small family groups. \nThroughout the dark times that followed\, Abenaki and other Native American artists\, musicians\, and community members expressed the impact of the pandemic on ourselves and our community through storytelling\, visual arts\, and writing. Our stories of personal experience and perceptions about the disparities\, access issues\, and historical traumas that contribute to vaccine hesitation are also stories of recovery\, survival\, and resilience. \nThe stories and artwork in this exhibit were gathered by the Vermont Abenaki Artists Association through the Abenaki Storytelling Project to create an auto-history of the Native American community in Vermont and the surrounding environs. \nMany of the storytellers\, artists\, and community members who contributed to this body of work found that sharing helped them process their grief. This exhibition goes beyond differences to speak of experiences that are universal. Together\, we move Beyond the Curve.”

SUMMARY:Celebrating Abenaki Arts\, Heritage\, & Culture: Gallery Opening & Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nThe Artists Reception is a special opportunity to meet some of the artists behind this diverse body of work and connect with local native community.\n\nCelebrating Abenaki Arts\, Heritage\, and Culture is a multi-year project that is focused on creating opportunities for non-Abenaki individuals to begin a journey of gaining insights and understanding about a resilient and creative people who were the first humans to live on this land\, which is now known as Vermont.\n\nThrough the display of art and a series of collateral offerings of workshops\, lectures\, artist interactions\, storytelling\, and music\, Stone Valley Arts hopes to open eyes\, build bridges\, and enrich each viewer\, listener\, and participant.\n\n“As someone who greatly values my own Polish heritage and all it has to offer\,” says SVA executive director\, Diane Bargiel\, “I am captivated by what I am learning about the values\, philosophies\, talents\, and traditions of our Abenaki neighbors whose ancestors have been here for over 13\,000 years. I might be a little biased\, but it seems to me that the Arts offer great ways to kind of ‘shake hands’ with each other.”\nThe Celebrating Abenaki Arts\, Heritage\, & Culture Art Show will be open at Stone Valley Arts from May 31 – July 30\, 2023\n\nMore workshops will be hosted by Stone Valley Arts this summer of 2023. Stay tuned on our Facebook page or check our website’s Event’s calendar and/or register for our email announcements at www.stonevalleyarts.org for upcoming workshop dates!\n\nIt is in gratitude that we announce that Celebrating Abenaki Art\, Heritage\, & Culture events are supported by Vermont Humanities & the New England Foundation for the Arts\n\nAny views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed do not necessarily represent those of the Vermont Humanities or the New England Foundation for the Arts.\n\nThis project is funded in part by the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts\, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program and the six New England state arts agencies.
