Sculpture Northwest

Of this Land: Contemporary First Nations' Sculpture Exhibit, Art Talk and Reception

Living in the Pacific Northwest means that we are surrounded by art from the Coast Salish people. Join us on Feb. 16 at 5:30 pm, at Sculpture Northwest Gallery, to hear from local Northwest artists. The gallery is located at 203 Prospect Street #101 in Bellingham. And there is a suggested donation for attendees of $5. Two leading Northwest artists will present discussions of their art at the Sculpture Northwest Gallery; Felix Solomon, a noted Lummi carver, will describe the process behind his latest work including a canoe on exhibit at the Bellingham Airport. He will also talk about his 11 ft. totem pole recently commissioned by San Juan Cable, on view at the Gallery through February 25.  We will also hear from Jason Reed Brown (Athabascan) who will discuss his metalwork and the stories and journeys behind his iconic sculptures. Enjoy the slideshow, conversation with the artists and reception!

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
