Native artists reflect on massacre’s legacy

In connection with the art exhibition “One November Morning” at the Clark County Historical Museum, descendants of those attacked in the Sand Creek Massacre will share their stories about the art and the lasting impact of the massacre.

The work of Cheyenne and Arapaho artists Brent Learned, George Levi, and B.J. Stepp remembers and honors their ancestors.

Learned and Levi will share their stories of the Nov. 29, 1864, massacre twice at the museum: 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 26, and 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 27. A $15 donation is suggested; it includes admission to the museum, 1511 Main St.

The exhibit opened Feb. 13 and closes May 28.

The nationally known artists are also creating murals for the museum. Visitors can watch them paint from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 26 and Wednesday, April 27 at the museum. The mural events are open to the public; standard admission rates apply.

The museum also will host a meet-and-greet with Levi from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 30. He will demonstrate what’s known as the traditional ledger style of painting as he creates new art; standard admission rates apply.
