About the Show

---

​"Today there is a deep meaningful revelation of the truth of who we are and all that we have lived. As we express the extraordinary beauty that WE ARE, continuously, we remember those that came before us: their reverence, humility, co-creative life way, and endurance." - Kathleen Westcott.

AICHO Galleries is honored to announce our fourth and final art exhibition of 2022. Our galleries will feature visual artwork from 26 local and regional artists along with written works by 13 local and regional Indigenous writers. Jazz music will be performed during the reception by Briand Morrison. Our theme “Those that have gone before us and all those yet unborn” came from White Earth Ojibwe artist Kathleen Westcott.

Visual artwork consists of painting, photography, beadwork, textiles, & mixed media. Some will be available for purchase.
