Pomo Land is a dual exhibit coming to Willits Center for the Arts in July, focusing on Pomo art and life in northern California. Our north gallery will feature the artwork of Melody Williams and her extended family, and will include Pomo coil and twine basketry, beadwork, and quilt making with an emphasis on the Northern Pomo language. The south gallery will present an exhibit of photography by Craig Gardner, in collaboration with Pomo artist Misty Reyes. This exhibit of over 50 portraits has been created in response to the national crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), featuring indigenous women from nearly every tribal group in the region, who are all survivors of violence or are personally connected
to someone who has been taken.

Pomo Land will open on Saturday July 5 from 6 to 8pm, with art, food and refreshments from 11am to 5pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through Sunday August 3. We await your visit at Willits Center for the Arts, 71 E. Commercial St., in Willits. For more information, please email manager@willitscenterforthearts.org.
