The 12th Annual tribal art show, Here Forever, will open at Tamástslikt Cultural Institute on August 14th and run through September 23rd, 2009. The Tribal art show is judged on the theme of place--the reservation homeland and the CTUIR ceded territories. According to Director, Bobbie Conner, “The sense of place has strongly influenced the creative expression of those people now known as the Cayuse, Walla Walla, and Umatilla Tribes.” Deadline for submissions by CTUIR artists is by close of business August 9th, 2009.

Jury awards will be made in the adult and youth adult categories. The Wildhorse Winner’s Circle adult category is divided in two subcategories, fine art and traditional art. Fine art includes painting, printmaking, drawing, sculpture, and mixed media. Most art forms—ceramics, photography, jewelrymaking, performance art, poetry and prose, etc.—are welcomed. Traditional art includes beadwork, weaving, parfleche and drum-making, and regalia-making. The youth awards are a single category and are not differentiated between fine and traditional art forms. In addition the People’s Choice Award is based on the popular votes incurred during the show’s run. Visitors to the museum can vote once during the art show run for their favorite work, adult or youth. Awards will be given at the closing reception the evening of September 23rd, when artists are asked to receive their works in return.
