Crow’s Shadow
serves pie, coffee
and art viewing
Open house set
for Sept. 15
By TAMMY MALGESINI
East Oregonian
MISSION — The pub-
lic is invited to visit the
art gallery and print studio
during an upcoming open
house at Crow’s Shadow
Institute of the Arts.
The event is Sunday,
Sept. 15 from 10 a.m.
to 1 p.m. at 48004 St.
Andrews Road, Mission.
Pie and coffee will be
served. There is no admis-
sion charge.
People will be able to
view a variety of works
from the Crow’s Shadow
permanent collection of
contemporary art. In addi-
tion, visitors also can see
the printmaking studio
where artist-in-residence
participants produce lim-
ited edition hand-pulled
fine lithographs while
working alongside master
printer Judith Baumann.
Located at the historic
St. Andrew’s Mission on
the Confederated Tribes of
the Umatilla Reservation,
Crow’s Shadow is about
10 miles outside of Pend-
leton. The nonprofit orga-
nization was founded 27
years ago under the guid-
ance of local artists James
Lavadour (Walla Walla),
Phillip Cash Cash (Cayuse
and Nez Perce) and other
creative friends.
Crow’s Shadow was
envisioned as a place to
foster creativity and sup-
port artistic development,
while also contributing
to social and economic
development.
“And then we found we
had a larger purpose for
Crow’s Shadow and print-
making opened up oppor-
tunities for us,” Lavadour
said in a November 2013
interview.
The initial creation of
Crow’s Shadow, Lavadour
said, filled a niche. Then
in 2001, Crow’s Shadow
began focusing on fine
printmaking and hired a
full-time master printer.
With its reputation soar-
ing, Crow’s Shadow began
garnering national and
international attention.
In 2013, 18 works by
seven American Indian
artists who worked in col-
laboration with Frank

of the American Indian. In
addition to the Washing-

Crow’s Shadow Press”
also was featured at the
George Gustav Heye Cen-
ter, the museum’s New
York branch.

UMATILLA COUNTY — Businesses
and nonprofit community groups in Uma-
tilla County are invited to apply for finan-
cial assistance through the Community
& Economic Development Small Grants
Program.
Economic Development grants support
efforts that will result in an increase of jobs
and economic growth. This can apply to
new businesses planning to open in Uma-
tilla County or existing businesses looking
to grow.
Community Development grants are
focused on projects that enhance a com-
munity rather than simply being a dona-
tion sponsoring an event, cause or activ-
ity. The idea is that there will be something
tangible that remains in the community
beyond the end of the project. Eligible proj-
ects could include those that require a grant
match from other programs.
The deadline to apply for a 2019 third
quarter grant is Wednesday, Sept. 18 by
5 p.m. For a grant application, search www.
umatillacounty.net. For questions, contact
Gail Nelson, economic development coor-
dinator, at 541-278-6283 or gail.nelson@
umatillacounty.net.
