The Intersection of Art, Culture, and History

Stuff We Love

Oct. 7, 2023

The Jordan River Arts Council (JRAC) of East Jordan is known for its locally-focused exhibits, workshops, and annual Holiday Gift Market (mark your calendars for Nov. 12!). But before the holiday season is upon us, they’re presenting an Indigenous Art and Culture exhibit, which runs through Nov. 4 and features contemporary Indigenous artistic traditions by Jamie John, Randy Endicott, Gary Andress, Yvonne Moore, Zoey Wood-Salomon, Kelly Lynch, Richard Keller, Stella Kay, Robin Peters, and more. This is not simply an opportunity to experience these works of art—each week, JRAC is also hosting events with artists, musicians, and storytellers. Sunday, Oct. 15, Beatrice Manase Kwe Jackson will offer her telling of the Creation Story. Saturday, Oct. 21, historian Minnie Wabanimke will share the history of the quill box. And Saturday, Oct. 28, a  beading workshop will be offered by Yvonne Moore. The exhibit is open daily from 1pm to 4pm at 301 Main Street in East Jordan.
