This dynamic showcase features the work of Johnnie Diacon, a renowned Mvskoke artist whose art has graced the cover of Joy Harjo’s recent book, appeared on the hit TV show Reservation Dogs, and been collected across the US. The exhibition also highlights the talents of TCC students, employees, and community artists, exploring themes of discovery, inquiry, and shared experience to foster connection and understanding.

Johnnie Diacon will give brief remarks , and we’ll enjoy catering from Shawkat’s Mediterranean Restaurant.
