Each year, the grant program establishes a theme. NASNTI\u2019s theme for 2020-2021 is \u201cKeeping Native Language Alive.\u201d In line with that theme, the grant program wanted to create a permanent exhibit showcasing the work of Native American artists.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to help examine the importance of Native Language preservation and the significance culture has in our community, state, county and worldwide,\u201d NASNTI Engagement Specialist Kay Wallace said.<\/p>\n

The project took six months to complete and features works from six different artists. Artists Phillip Coon, Amber Duboise-Shepherd, Edmond Joshua Jr., Gary Montgomery, Katie Scott and Tony Tiger all have pieces in the exhibit.<\/p>\n\n\n

The exhibit was made possible through donations from Amber DuBoise-Shepherd, Bill and Karen Hooten, SSC Emeritus Art Professor Kelly Kirk and his wife Judy, Katie Scott and Tony Tiger.<\/p>\n

In celebration of the exhibit\u2019s completion, the grant program created a video entitle \u201cSix Minutes and Thirteen Seconds of Your Time: The Making of the NASNTI Art Exhibit.\u201d The video tracks the entirety of the project and can be viewed on SSC\u2019s YouTube page.<\/p>\n

The exhibit is available to view for students, faculty and staff. It will be open to the public on Nov. 1. Social distancing, limited group sizes, and face masks will be required of visitors.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
