“Congratulations to the 13 AICHO Artists who placed in the top 13 honorable mentions for our upcoming AICHO Artist group exhibition entitled: “Those that have gone before us and all those yet unborn!” Each of the following artists will have an Indigenous writer write a reflection based on their artwork which will be placed next to their artwork in the gallery. They will also be represented in AICHO’s 2023 Calendar.

We will have a total of 24 amazing artists in the show and their work includes beadwork, painting, mixed media, textiles, and photography. The show will run from September 24 – January 6 with the artist reception on September 24 at 6 pm – 8 pm at AICHO Galleries. Mark you calendars now!”
