Author/Artist Reception with Arapahoe Libraries and Danielle SeeWalker

Please join Arapahoe Libraries for an opening reception for featured artist Danielle SeeWalker. The program will kick off with an artist talk followed by a reception and viewing of the gallery. Light refreshments will be served.

Danielle SeeWalker is Hú?kpap?a Lak?óta and a citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North Dakota. Danielle is an artist, writer, activist and mother of two based in Denver, Colorado. Her visual artwork often incorporates the use of mixed media and experimentation with traditional Native American materials, scenes and messaging. Her artwork pays homage to her identity as a Lak?óta wí?ya? (woman). She is passionate about redirecting the narrative toward an accurate and insightful representation of contemporary Native America while still acknowledging historical events. Danielle serves as co-chair for the Denver American Indian Commission. She recently published her first book, Still Here: A Past to Present Insight of Native American People & Culture.

A collection of Danielle’s artwork will be on display at Koelbel Library for the month of November, Native American Heritage Month.

Arapahoe Libraries’ Featured Artists program showcases the work of local artists who use their art to shed light on diverse communities, discuss history and social justice and spark important community conversations.
