Native American's Sculptures Evoke the Things We Share
Provisions Library (1611 Connecticut Ave. NW), an innovative resource center committed to using the literary and visual arts as a catalyst for social change, is featuring an exhibition of 20 sculptures by Pueblo artist Roxanne Swentzell of Santa Clara, NM.

"Breaking the Surface," made possible by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, coincides with the September opening of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian, where Swentzell's art is prominently featured in a permanent sculptural installation in the new museum's theater. The show will run from Sept. 4 through Oct. 24.
On Friday, Sept. 3, at 6 p.m., Swentzell will speak about her work, and a reception will follow. A donation of $10 is requested for the event. For a bio of the artist and additional information on the exhibit, visit this website.
