sNok signflz JUNE 1, 2024 Grand Ronde artist’s work featured in Newport gallery NEWPORT – Grand Ronde Tribal member Leland Butler is a featured artist at an exhibition, “Where Waters Meet,” which celebrates the next generation of Indigenous creators. It will be on display from Saturday, June 1 to Sunday, July 28 at the Newport Visual Arts Center and in the Olive Street Gallery Newport Performing Arts Center. The exhibition features Butler and four other artists from diverse backgrounds and Tribes who will present their work throughout four gal- leries and two separate buildings, showcasing photography, videography, installation, painting, sculpture and basketry. In the VAC Runyan Gallery, Leonard D. Harmon (Lenape/Nanticoke) and Butler will present their collaborative contemporary exhibit, “Walk- ing on Eggshells.” The show will feature photography, fi lm, sculpture and installation components. Curiosity about self, land and people led Butler to photography a decade ago, according to a press release from the arts council. “His sophisticated and often mysterious compositions explore the duality of light and shadow,” the release said. Exhibits at the arts center are free to the public and can typically be viewed from noon to 4 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday, at 777 N.W. Beach Drive. Exhibits at the Olive Street Gallery can be viewed from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Friday, and starting one hour before ticketed events, at 777 West Olive St. To learn more about “Where Waters Meet”, and each of the individual exhibits, visit www.coastarts.org/wwm. n 13 Cpl.
