Exhibition of Sculptor Alvin Marshall

Alvin Marshall, a Navajo Native American and sculptor, came to Dickinson as the Artist-in-Residence. Marshall's works were on exhibit from September 14th to the 18th. While here, Marshall completed and donated one of his sculptures to the College. All of his works incorporated traditions and stories that originated from Navajo culture. While his goal was to help those Native Americans who had moved away from their culture reconnect with their roots, but Marshall also had a strong desire to educate non-Native Americans about Native American culture and traditions.  The exhibition took place in the Weiss Center for the Arts and his residency was made possible by Emil and Tamar Weiss.
