FDCS Artists To Present at Ancient Traders Gallery


We are so excited to announce that the following students will represent the Four Directions Charter School and In Progress during the closing Exhibit event of the Ogichidaakweg Retrospect. Staff, family, fellow students and friends are all invited to visit with the young artists, watch a great set of videos by youth storytellers and ask questions about the artwork up in the exhibit. The event is free and open to the public.

The current exhibit is a retrospective of digital photography and video works that honor Native American life and culture. More than 100 young artists from Nett Lake Village (Bois Forte Nation), Kego Lake, S Lake, Cass Lake (Leech Lake Nation), Red Lake and Minneapolis will present digitally created stories represented in both print and digital mediums.

The show closes on October 30th, so make sure to stop by soon.
