john feodorov & the sacred circle gallery The Daybreak Star Arts Center is an Indian cultural center and home to the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation. The building, located in Seattle’s Discovery Park, serves as exhibition space for the Sacred Circle Gallery of American Indian Art and as a home for artist residencies and workshops. Sacred Circle worked with Art:21 to create six artist residencies for Summer 2001, one which featured Season One artist John Feodorov. The goals of the program were twofold: to offer individuals unfamiliar with the arts the chance to interact with contemporary artists and broaden their understanding of Native themes, issues, and art; and to create dialogue and aesthetic appreciation as a way of bolstering the community’s quality of life. The residency workshops took place in the Daybreak Star Arts Center and utilized the building’s four wings. Each wing, oriented towards a cardinal direction, became studio space for the selected artists. The artists worked on pieces for upcoming exhibitions at the gallery, providing the public with a unique opportunity to witness the artistic process. residency schedule—summer 2001 JUNE - John Feodorov, Art:21 featured artist and multimedia Navaho artist - Sally Larsen, photographer of Aleut/Apache descent JULY - Steve Brown, noted carver and a former associate curator at the Seattle Art Museum; Shawn Peterson, a Puyallup and Mr. Brown's apprentice for more than two years - Samuella Samaniego, photographer and Tlingit from Klukwan, Alaska AUGUST - Bob Haozous, carver of Chiricahua Apache and Navaho and Pueblo descent - Janice Toulouse-Shinqwaak and Leonard Beam, collaborators whose most recent work “The Traveling Alter Native Medicine Show,” experimentally documents road trips taken by the artists in the US and Canada Art:21's Pacific Northwest outreach program was generously funded by The Allen Foundation for the Arts, dedicated to promoting the creative arts in the Pacific Northwest. |
