Virtual Native American Artist Series – Dawn Spears

Dawn Spears (Narragansett/Choctaw) is a contemporary artist who specializes in unique, free-hand original abstract designs. Dawn also serves as Executive Director of the Northeast Indigenous Arts Alliance (NIAA) and has worked with numerous museums, cultural organizations, and tribal initiatives throughout the region. As a featured artist in our Virtual Holiday Market, join Dawn, along with IAIS staff, for a Zoom-based presentation on her artwork, much of which features bright bold designs that incorporate vibrant colors, symbolism, and patterns of the natural world, in order to “invoke a sense of confidence and strength to empower one to conquer whatever challenge may lie ahead.”
