When the Going Gets Tough, the Artists Get Going

Knowing that art is a powerful language, OLY ARTS spoke with some local Olympia area artists on how they feel compelled to respond to the recent election. There will be much discussion, both words and in artworks. This is part one of a series “The Art of Resistance” which will feature the work of local artists.

A New Mural Comes to Olympia, Ravens Chasing the Moon

by Anna Schlecht — A new mural has expanded the landscape of downtown Olympia. Ravens Chasing the Moon. Far more than a mural, this artwork adds to the cultural lexicon of artistic storytelling in the heart of our community. Cowlitz tribal artist Sarah Folden worked with Chehalis tribal artist Jenee Redecker-Burnett to paint this iconic image in the contemporary Coast Salish tradition.
