November 16: Join us for a glimpse into the life and art of worldclass Diné painter Shonto Begay.
"The art of Shonto Begay captures the striking beauties of a Navajo upbringing and the realities of modern reservation life. A traditional life of sustainability and prayer helped Shonto endure the brutality of the U.S. government boarding school he was forced to attend as a child. He paints in a series of small brush strokes that repeat like the words of a traditional Navajo blessing prayer. His images harken heartfelt childhood memories and resonate the constant struggle for balance and harmony with humankind and Earth." (from ShontoBegay.net)
