Carve out some time to see Lonnie!
Posted September 29, 2011 at 7:22 pm by Ian Byington
Come see Tlingit carver Lonnie Acord (that's a beaver frontlet he made) at The Arctic Raven as part of Artstock Saturday.
It’s amazing to see Native artwork, but even more amazing to see it being created. Lonnie is here for Artstock, and I’ll be singing as well…here’s more from Barbara & Lee at The Arctic Raven:
Arctic Raven Gallery is pleased to host Lonnie Acord, acclaimed adopted Tlingit Native American carver. He will be demonstrating carving from 3:30pm – 7:30pm on Saturday, October 1 at the Gallery’s 130 First Street location, as part of Artstock. Music by local musician Ian Byington and refreshments will shared from 5:30-7:30.
The best work of Acord’s long, colorful, career will be on display Saturday only. Surprising and evocative, Lonnie’s work is unique, whether a wide mouthed beaver frontlet or a raven dance wand with crouching figures along its edges. His latest creations feature a subtle color palette, knife finish, abalone, horse hair and ermine fur details which create mini worlds inhabited by transforming humans and critters.
With lids half closed and satisfied grins, each work is bursting with character, just like the artist. Come meet the Lonnie and enjoy some local refreshments.
