Join Haida/Arapaho master carver Bruce Cook and Arapaho painter Al Hubbard for a discussion moderated by Ojibwe storyteller Marty Strenczewilk on creating art as Native culture bearers. Homelands, now in its third year, is an important art show for the Boulder community, as the Ute, Cheyenne and Arapaho nations whose land we stand upon holds the focus of our attention. Being one of the co-founders of this annual event, Bruce will speak to the experience of building a bridge for Native artists to bring their work back home.
Bruce Cook And Al Hubbard are painting a mural at the Dairy as part of Street Wise Mural Festival September 13 – 15, 2024.
Street Wise Mural Festival returns September 13-15, 2024. Street Wise Arts’ flagship program explores the intersection of art and activism (ARTivism) while centering womxn, BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and emerging artists based in Colorado and beyond. The Festival will primarily install public art projects in the neighborhood of East Boulder.
In 2024, the Street Wise Mural Festival will spotlight themes of environmentalism and climate action. Climate change is the most pressing issue facing our world today, affecting how we live, work, play, and plan for the future. We invite artists to create murals and public art projects that address this theme, humanizing climate change and its impacts, visualizing scientific data, and connecting viewers to climate scientists and activists. Ultimately we hope artists will educate and empower community members to take action and inspire climate optimism.
