About First Light: Carl Gawboy, Wendy Savage & the Ojibwe Art Expo

Boozhoo! This is “First Light: Carl Gawboy, Wendy Savage & the Ojibwe Art Expo,” a three part series diving into the Anishinaabeg art scene past and present with two of Minnesota’s established and respected Ojibwe artists who were heavily involved in the Ojibwe Art Expo. This started in the 1974 and partially inspired by the vibrant American Indian art scene at the time in Santa Fe, the Ojibwe Art Expo was a “mostly” annual traveling exhibition for several decades. This series is for anyone who wants an inside look at Native art history in Minnesota, representation and support (or lack thereof) of the arts, and how American Indian art has evolved and positively impacted the lives of so many Native artists over the past 40-50 years. White Earth Nation direct descendant Jill Doerfler serves as the interviewer for the series. This program was made possible through support from Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund, Maadaa’ookiing Grant, and Arrowhead Regional Arts Council.Links to Resources:American Indian Community Housing Organization (AICHO)Northwoods Friends of the ArtsArrowhead Regional Art CouncilA Life Well-Painted: The Art of Carl GawboyNative Regalia: Past and PresentListen on YouTube Podcasts
