Dear SDVAN Visitors, Art Resources and Artists, Art is thought made manifest. It is the transition of ideas into matter, conjuring a rabbit out of a top hat’s silky ether. An artist is an agent of concepts, both shamanic and constructive. Paint or clay may be the media. An artist is the medium. Art is magic.

Dear SDVAN Visitors, Art Resources and Artists, Amazing art styles can be found in every corner of the earth but unfortunately, the earth is round. This is especially true for tribal artists where the art patterns are not even recognized as art as it could be as simple as lines or dots. It’s about time tribal art is given the same value or status as much as other art forms. Sangma Hanny Our banner is in support of Script/Rescript at SDSU Art Galleries from Oct 13 to Dec 8.
