The gallery will give voice to the untold stories of our native people. Dan Loudfoot (Pequot tribe) documents in photographs a performance meant to evoke his sense of being set adrift from his roots. His photographs show him with the words, 'I lost my language, I lost my tribe,' taped across his mouth as he stands at a phone booth on the streets of New York City. Dan will also install an audience-participation piece so that gallery visitors can pretend to be American Natives.

Artist: Jim Ingram Medium: Photography - Color Venue: Mt.Tom's Homemade Ice Cream Address: 34 Cottage St Event: One thing I miss during the winter months is color. A hearty old New England winter, such as this has been, gives us plenty of rain, snow, ice, and cold, but still thinks nothing of taking away most of the colors of the spectrum. If you'd forgotten what natural colors look like, are equally as ready for this winter to go on its monochrome way, or would just like to take a few minutes to see the flowers, I've got just the collection of colorful images for you, fresh cropped from this year's Smith College Bulb Show.

Featured music at this event will be Putumayo's 'Native American Odyssey.' Most of the music on this collection reflects the way in which indigenous peoples incorporate the music around them from the predominant culture and, by blending in elements of their tradition, make it their own. The main goal of this compilation, as with all Putumayo World Music recordings, is to present a selection of great music which will hopefully entertain, surprise, and inspire you to explore even further.

Artist: Matt Johnson Medium: Sculpture - Steel Venue: Easthampton City Arts Address: 43 Main St. Event: Matt Johnson will exhibit several of his forged steel sculptures during this month's Art Walk. Coinciding with Denis Luzuriaga's exhibit, so there is a lot going on at the Old Town Hall this month! Here's Matt's statement: For me, the artmaking process is as much an endeavor of the body as it is one of the mind. Issue and imagery fade behind the event of the art coming-into-being. Manual manipulation at the threshold of achievability is the desirable working condition. No assistants, no excuses, no complaining...just real work accomplishing real tasks. All this eventually leading to a visual entity from which there might be gleaned some elevated perception or momentary amusement. Purchase Contact: Easthampton City Arts info@easthamptoncityarts.org
