Ïã¸ÛÂí»á¿ª½±Ö±²¥

Since its founding in 1946, Ïã¸ÛÂí»á¿ª½±Ö±²¥ has always been firmly rooted in respect for and reverence of Native American arts and culture. Each summer, Ïã¸ÛÂí»á¿ª½±Ö±²¥’ Native American Arts Center produces and hosts the annual Native American Arts Festival Week, designed to enhance and add depth to the Summer Program workshop experience. The week-long festival provides a provocative learning experience by bringing together distinguished artists, scholars, and cultural specialists to present performances, demonstrations, films, exhibitions, showcases, and the popular Michael Kabotie Lecture Series.

Join us for a special evening with Unfold Development and the Native American Arts Center celebrating an outdoor photography exhibition by current Ïã¸ÛÂí»á¿ª½±Ö±²¥ student Tain Half. Guests will also enjoy a poetry reading by Ïã¸ÛÂí»á¿ª½±Ö±²¥ alumna Emily Clarke, who will share a never-before publicly read poem that encapsulates the spirit of the project that Unfold Development is undertaking in the heart of downtown Idyllwild. This program is a part of Unfold Development’s RECONNECT series, which interweaves community partnerships with art, education, and nature. Guests are also encouraged to enjoy appetizers and flute music!

• Words from Tain Half (Apsáalooke) & Poetry Reading by Emily Clarke (Cahuilla)
• Flute Music provided by Randy Kemp (Choctaw/Muscogee-Creek/Euchee)
• Refreshments & hors d’oeuvres provided by the Native American Arts Center, with bites from Indigenously Procured
