SOLD OUT

Native Action Network is proud to present our summer exhibition, Into the Circle, featuring artwork by Margaret Morris - Sya Yeik’. Margaret is based in Edmonds, Washington. She has been creating art for decades, using formline design on elk hide drums, dance robes, tunics, beadwork, carving and weaving. She seamlessly translates ancestral imagery into traditional and contemporary media. Her work reminds us that art is the heartbeat of our people, resonating through generations, like the steady boom of a drum.

Come celebrate the artist during the opening reception Friday, July 14, 6-8pm, at NAN’s office space at 55 Bell Street, Seattle. There will be refreshments and light appetizers provided. The show will be up July 14 – September 6, 2023, accessible during Belltown Art Walks every second Friday evening of the month, or schedule a private viewing appointment by emailing info@nativeactionnetwork.org. 

Please note that there is one flight of stairs to Native Action Network's office from the ground floor. Unfortunately, there is not an elevator or other accommodations available. We apologize for any inconvenience.
