First Saturdays: Celebrating Local Artists

See the Past Through Their Eyes.

Visit with Indigenous and other equity-deserving artists at The Village on the first Saturday of the month. Through their work, these artists ask us to consider history from their perspective.

Art connects us to other people. It opens our eyes to different ways of looking at the world around us, and to the history of the land we call home.
