Makers Workshop: Ledger Art with Tokeya Waci U

Join artist Tokeya Waci U (Oglala Lakota / Haliwa-Sapon) to learn about how First Nations people communicated, kept records, and told stories in ways that transcended time. Contemporary Native artists use old ledger paper (usually dating to the late 1800s to early 1930s) for storytelling in a way that is similar to historic hide painting but more accessible today. Workshop participants will learn drawing techniques to make their own ledger art pieces with their family’s story and spiritual energy. Each ledger artwork will be created on the same material paper as the artist’s ancestors used.

Art supplies and light refreshments will be provided. Admission is $39 ($30 for Museum Members). This event is 18+.

Doors open at 6PM for an opportunity to view Native Arts in Miniature before the workshop.
