ATLATL ANNOUNCES NATIVE ARTS NETWORK 1994
A BIENNIAL CONFERENCE
Atlatl, the National Service Organization for Native American arts,
announces NATIVE ARTS NETWORK 1994, to be held in Portland, Oregon
October 13-16, 1994. The theme of the conference is THE ARTIST AS
COMMUNITY HEALER. This theme will address the role of the arts in
society as a positive force that can bring our minds and bodies into
balance and harmony, benefitting both individual and community.
For the first time, NATIVE ARTS NETWORK 1994 will include two tracks--
one for Cultural Organizations and one for Native American artists.
The conference will be arranged around issues, with regional
representatives from Atlatl's Second circle national advisory board
addressing how each issue has an impact on art from their geographic
area. Issues have been grouped in the following categories: Economic
Forces, Political Forces, Social Forces, International Forces, and
Community Forces.
W. Richard West, Director of the National Museum of the American Indian
will give the opening keynote address.
Scholarships are available for Native Americans interested in attending.
