"Neo-abOrginal Art: The Sculptural Marvels of Ed Archie
NoiseCat"
Born and raised in British Columbia, Ed Archie Noisecat was
surrounded and influenced by the stories and art forms of the Native
Americans of the Northwest Pacific Coast. Although formally trained
in New York, and utilizing contemporary methods and materials in his
sculpture, Ed continues to evoke the carving traditions of his
ancestors. Recently, Noisecat has worked in Oklahoma and New Mexico
and has been featured in Southwest Art Magazine. Although he has won
awards for large public art commissions, he has also continued to
carve works on a small scale.

“Drawing
on a Legacy: Recent Works by Cherokee Artist Tony Weldon ”
Of Cherokee descent, Weldon’s passion for his family heritage led
him to begin drawing Native Americans.
His works, based upon historical research, are highly developed in
terms of technique, but also tell a story and convey emotions.
One of Tony’s drawings is part of the permanent Booth Museum
Collection, while another was recently accepted into the
Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian. This exhibition
recognizes the Cherokee heritage that links the West with
the Southeast and coincides with Native American Heritage month in
November.

Trail Back Home: Cherokee Basketry Traditions”

artistry that exceeds the level of craft.
Selections come from a sizeable collection in Western North
Carolina, the last vestige of the Cherokee Nation in the Southeast.

which the Cherokee people have been known for centuries.
This exhibition complements the fine art of Tony Weldon and also
coincides with Native American Heritage Month.
