Josephy Center Opening: Nuunimnix Art Show

2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Nez Perce National Historical Park. As part of the year’s celebration events, the park reached out to Nez Perce artists to form the Nuunimnix Art Show. In nimiipuutimt, the Nez Perce language, nuunimnix means “our very own.”

With this art show, Nez Perce National Historical Park sought to celebrate Nez Perces and Nez Perce descendants that make traditional items for family, friends, and loved ones – items that exemplify nuunimnix. The Nuunimnix art show honors the artists, their teachers and elders, and the culture and community that lies at the foundation of the artists’ work. Exhibit runs through June 27.   Doors open at 2:30, there will be refreshments, no host bar, Native American Drumming, Speakers and Celebration.
