Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts Biennial

November 9, 2013 – February 2, 2014

Study Gallery and Print Study Center

The Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts Biennial will feature a selection of contemporary prints created at the Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts on the Umatilla Reservation in northeastern Oregon during the past two years. Organized by Willamette University Professor Rebecca Dobkins and Crow’s Shadow Master Printer Frank Janzen, the exhibition will open November 9, 2013 and continue through February 2, 2014, in the Study Gallery and Print Study Center.

Founded by painter and printmaker James Lavadour (Walla Walla) in 1992, the Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts seeks to provide educational and professional opportunities for Native American artists to utilize their art as a vehicle for economic development. Housed in the historic St. Andrew’s Mission schoolhouse, the facility features a “state-of-the-art” printmaking studio, classroom, computer lab, library, archive, and gallery space.
