Exhibition - Light in Flight by Nena Howell

Nena Howell’s Light in Flight is a vibrant collection of contemporary figurative oil paintings celebrates themes of spirit, laughter, and wellness.

“As I work with each piece, I’m looking for feelings of abundance, movement, and respect-that respect I feel around the themes of connection to humanity, nature, and stewardship,” says Howell. “For this series I was drawn to coppers-colors of cedars and grasses intermixed with loose figurative movement lines and solid abstract Tlingit forms and figures. These colors and forms can be found in our indigenous Tlingit peoples clothing, regalia and household carvings.”

To complement this exhibition, we invite you to join us for the Indigenous Wings Celebration on Saturday, November 16, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM PST. This special event, hosted by Howell, will be a gathering for the Indigenous community and allies to connect, share stories, and celebrate cultural wellness through our arts in community.

- Refreshments: Enjoy delicious treats and non-alcoholic beverages as we come together to uplift one another.

- Open to All: The Indigenous Wings Celebration is open to everyone, with a suggested $10 donation to support Gallery 110, a non-profit arts gallery that has been serving the community since 2002.

- Attendees are encouraged to wear their tribal regalia, adornments, face paint, and/or wings to enhance the celebratory atmosphere!
