Please join us as we bring together community leaders to celebrate Indigenous artists and artwork.  Lillian Pitt, Warm Springs/Yakama/Wasco Tribe, longtime NAYA friend, will share  her stories about the about the contributions of Native American artists across the region.  Lillian is one of the most highly regarded Native American artists in the Pacific Northwest. Her works have been exhibited and reviewed regionally, nationally and internationally, and she has been the recipient of numerous awards and distinctions. Primarily a sculptor and mixed media artist, Lillian’s lifetime of works include artistic expressions in clay, bronze, wearable art, prints, and most recently, glass. The focus of her work draws on over 12,000 years of Native American history and tradition of the Columbia River region. Regardless of the medium she chooses to use, Lillian’s contemporary works are all aimed at giving voice to her people.

Regional Arts and Culture Council (RACC) will also be displaying Night Lights, in conjunction with First Thursday and feature an art installment in collaboration with PSU students. We thank the Regional Arts and Culture Council for hosting us, and for their longstanding support of the arts in our community. We would also like to thank Legacy Health System for sponsoring this event.
