Native American Culture Takes the Spotlight in San Diego's Art Scene

Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with an inspiring artistic journey at Exclusive Collections Gallery (EC Gallery). Join us from November 10 to 12 for the "Native American Art Show," highlighting the rich cultural heritage of the nation's top Native American artists through remarkable sculptures, paintings, and mixed media pieces. Don't miss this opportunity to explore exceptional creativity in one place. The weekend show will be held Fri & Sat 6:00pm – 9:00pm and Sun 1:00pm - 4:00pm where attendees get to meet internationally acclaimed Native American artists, Cara Romero, Gerald Clarke, Ruben Chato, Johnny Bear Contreras, George Rivera, Jeremy Salazar, Son of Picasso, Votan, and Cody Sanderson. There will also be a VIP reception on Saturday, Nov 11 from 6:00pm – 9:00pm. The EC Gallery Native American show was conceptualized by Ruth-Ann Thorn, a registered tribal member of the Rincon Band of Luiseño/Payómkawichum Indians in Southern California. She is an Indigenous woman warrior, and her ability to overcome adversity speaks to her resilience as a Native Woman. As a tribal leader, art dealer, producer/host of the national cable shows “Art of the City” and “This is Indian Country,” her artistic vision as an entrepreneur is fueled by a passion for her community. “10-million Native Americans live on this continent and the art in this space is tremendous,” said Ruth-Ann Thorn, Founder, EC Gallery. “Our goal of hosting this Native American art show is to bring the finest Native American art in the country to San Diego and invite all of Southern California to see these one-of-a-kind works of art as well as celebrate our Native American Culture.” EC Gallery is the FIRST and ONLY Native American owned business in the Gaslamp area. When the Gaslamp area was developed in the mid-1800s native people weren't allowed to own businesses. Ruth-Ann is the first tribal member to open and operate a business in the area, making this a historic milestone for downtown. In addition to meeting the acclaimed artists, guests will also be able to enjoy Native American wine, beer, light bites, and music. EC Gallery always goes big for these events. EC Gallery is located area at 621 Fifth Street, San Diego, CA 92101. In the heart of downtown San Diego at the corner of Fifth and Market in the Gaslamp area. RSVP is recommended. The cost for the show is free and open to all ages -- except the Friday VIP event where guests must be 21+. Please visit their web site at http://www.ecgallery.com to RSVP and for more show details.
