In 1999 I received a grant through the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts to participate in a yearlong project with the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. The project included six months of community outreach, research, and planning, and led up to a five month period of painting a site specific mural for the Heard Museum in the artist’s studio (book store.) The mural was designed in a non-traditional sense; it was to be painted on canvas and adhered to the gallery walls in the newly designed Ullman Learning Center, which would also house a new family-friendly exhibit called “We Are Arizona’s First People.” The main focus of the new gallery and exhibit was to celebrate the 22 federally recognized Native people of Arizona in 22 different kiosks, each arranged along a meandering path throughout the gallery, where small samples of indigenous culture could be seen, heard, and understood through hands-on activities.
