The Language of the Land | Gallery Reception

Ucross Foundation

The Ucross Art Gallery invites the community to a reception celebrating its latest exhibition, "The Language of the Land."

The Ucross Art Gallery invites the community to a reception celebrating its latest exhibition, The Language of the Land.The exhibition features work by the 2024 recipients of the Ucross Fellowship for Native American Artists: Steven J. Yazzie (Diné/Pueblo of Laguna/European ancestry) of Denver, Colorado; Jeremy Dennis (Shinnecock Indian Nation) of Southampton, New York; and Danielle Shandiin Emerson (Diné) of Shiprock, New Mexico.The exhibition is guest curated by Sean Chandler (Aaniiih), a former Ucross artist-in-residence and the president of Aaniiih Nakoda College on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in Montana.“The land holds our identity, our stories, and our truth about ourselves,” Sean said. “Steven, Jeremy, and Danielle have each interpreted their own connection to the land, creating works that are deeply personal and universally resonant. Their art speaks to the strength, resilience, and spiritual connection that Indigenous peoples have with their environment.”The event is free and open to all, and will include gallery tours, refreshments, and the opportunity to meet the featured artists.The Language of the Land is supported in part by a grant from the Wyoming Cultural Trust Fund, a program of the Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources. Additional exhibition support is provided by the Wyoming Arts Council, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Wyoming Legislature. <h3>***Please also join us for an artist and curator talk at Sheridan College earlier in the day at 11 a.m. Register <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-language-of-the-land-artist-talk-tickets-1234889360319?aff=oddtdtcreator" title="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-language-of-the-land-artist-talk-tickets-1234889360319?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here.</a></h3><h3> </h3>For more information about the Ucross Art Gallery exhibition, click <a href="https://www.ucrossfoundation.org/ucross-gallery.html" title="https://www.ucrossfoundation.org/ucross-gallery.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here.</a> <h3>Featured images: (Top) "Wind Cuts Through It,” Steven J.
