The ‘Tis Art Center & Gallery is proud to present "Journeys in Spirit 2024: Traditional and Contemporary Native Art” in partnership with the Museum of Indigenous People. Journeys in Spirit, which will open on Thursday, May 16 and run through Tuesday, June 25, is a captivating exhibition of Native American art that celebrates the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of indigenous communities. Featuring a diverse collection of artworks, including paintings, basketry, jewelry, photography, beadworks, ceramics and other traditional and contemporary mediums, the exhibition is free and open to the public.
Journeys in Spirit showcases the extraordinary talent of Native American artists. These artists come from varied backgrounds and cultures, with some still living within their tribal communities. The exhibition highlights the beauty and diversity of Native American art, while also providing a platform for artists to share their stories and perspectives. Many traditions continue to be passed down through the generations; from an early age, children are taught that color and imagery carry symbolic meaning and through the arts, their stories can be told. To meet some of the Journeys in Spirit artists and gain deeper insight into their cultures, the public is encouraged to attend a reception during Prescott’s 4th Friday Art Walk on Friday, May 24 from 5-7 p.m.
‘Tis Art Center & Gallery would like to extend a special thanks to the City of Prescott and the Prescott Area Arts and Humanities Council for their continued support of this event. For more information, please visit https://www.tisartgallery.com/category/gallery-events/.

Mixing genres of video, performance, and drawing, Francisco González Castro’s work examines problems related to territorial borders, social inequalities, and bodily transgressions. The project title refers to German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s (1844-1900) existentialist quote that begins, “The body is a great intelligence,” (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 1883), and infers that the human body and soul are one. This title is illuminated in Castro’s own artistic philosophy, which confronts the body, people who reject the body, and how the body is approached as subject and identity. Castro’s personal bodily transgressions and tests of endurance are vehicles for his discourse about geographic landscapes and political borders. It is within this integration of life-and-art, body-and-spirit, that we intend to immerse the audience in this physically ambitious and psychologically profound exhibition by Castro at Coconino Center for the Arts.

Humans have long been attracted to the art of storytelling. One could say that our lives are composed of a series of different stories that we tell ourselves and one another.
In this workshop, we'll look at this narrative art and how to effectively channel our experiences into powerful poetry. We'll study examples of celebrated poems and discuss techniques for crafting poetry and sound. Then, through a series of writing prompts, we'll examine our own narratives and turn them into poems. This course will also consider tempo, pacing, and effective use of line breaks.
This workshop is for anyone interested in poetry and storytelling!
This event is part of the ARTx: Art + Ideas Experience Arizona
