Description
The Museum of Native American History (MONAH) is proud to present our own Kelli McCain Nixon (Quapaw) for a special edition of Creative Visions… for kids! Creative Visions for Kids: Quapaw Pottery will be held Saturday, July 27, at 10:00 AM. Nixon will lead participants through the construction of their own pottery vessel, while speaking on the methodology, shapes, and designs traditional to Quapaw pottery and its history within the Quapaw tribe. Creative Visions is a monthly series that invites Native artists to speak on and lead workshops on modern and traditional forms of Native American Art. MONAH seeks to preserve and spread historical traditions by bringing them into a modern view and experience. By surrounding participants with historical Quapaw art and artifacts, they will be invited into opportunities to cultivate understanding, respect, and increased awareness of cultural context by a hands-on exploration of Native art. Creative Visions for Kids is open to children ages 5 and older. Participants must register online through the MONAH website. Registration is free. Attendance will be taken at the door prior to entering the event space.
