Artist Talk - Penny and Rick Kagigebi
About
MacRostie Art Center will host an
Artist Talk event with Penny and Rick Kagigebi on Tuesday, June 28th
from 4 – 5 pm. The event will take place at the Giinawind Creative Space
at MacRostie Art Center in downtown Grand Rapids. The public is invited to
attend.
Rick Kagigebi (Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe) and Penny Kagigebi (White Earth Band of Ojibwe) live in Detroit Lakes, just south of the White Earth Ojibwe Reservation in northwestern Minnesota. The couple are a creative team and accomplished individual artists.
Rick creates appliquéd mural blankets. Each blanket is created with intention to serve as a gift, tell a story, or provide healing.
Penny works in many mediums, primarily quillwork, quillboxes, and embellished birch bark baskets.
The artist talk is free and open to the public, and light refreshments will be served.
