Reception and Ojibwe Storytelling
January 17 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
WEATHER WARNING!! This event has been cancelled due to unsafe travel conditions. We will announce if the reception can be rescheduled.
Friday, January 17 from 5 to 7pm, Watermark Art Center will hold a reception for Mayaadaaboonojig exhibiting artists Zac Earley and Arden Ramay. Earley, an Ojibwe culture keeper, will speak about the exhibit and then he will follow with Ojibwe storytelling or Aadizookewin, the act of telling a sacred story.
Mayaadaaboonojig, meaning “The Ones Drifting Off on the Current”, is centered around a traditional build of a birchbark canoe (2024). Colorful floral paintings by Ardin Ramay plus mixed media birch etchings and Ojibwe story portraits by Earley, are also on display making this a mix of traditional and contemporary Ojibwe-style work.For more exhibit information, exhibit images and Ojibwe language pronunciation visit watermarkartcenter.org/
