Honoring Those Who Came Before

Involved Artists:

Stonington Gallery is excited to present our June exhibition Honoring Those Who Came Before. This is a group exhibition that focuses on the theme of ancestors, elders, and mentors. The culture and art of the Pacific Northwest Coast and Alaska have existed for millenia, passed down from generation to generation. The artists featured in this exhibition explore the ideas of how to honor those who came before them and who it was in their lives that helped them on their journey. Some explore deep personal stories while others revel in the techniques and styles that keep them connected to the ones who came before. This multidisciplinary group of works honors the memories of ancestors and contributes to the living and breathing Pacific Northwest Indigenous cultures thriving today.
