Mark Brown provided the program last Wednesday on Indian Art. Mark has been collecting Indian art since he was sixteen years old, and developed it into a business that has taken him around the states and to numerous South American countries in search of ancient cultures and their art.
Mark is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne tribe, but grew up in Dodge City Kansas. There have been over seven hundred documented tribes in the US alone, and these cultures have evolved over time in their art, music and spirituality. The art often reflected the geography of where they lived, depicting animals, abstract designs and geographic features in jewelry, pottery, clothing, accessories and cave/wall paintings.
Numerous art pieces were on display for our members to enjoy.
