We will also have an Opening Reception for new art exhibits, "Traditions Learned Through Time” by artist Billy Hawk Enos and “Artwork by Winema Marie Suehead” on display May 6 - June 25, 2013. Enos, a self-taught artist, used mixed media and acrylic paintings to honor the cultural traditions of his Washoe/Niesnan ancestors from Chukam Pakan (Clipper Gap area) and Nevada City, CA.
