Scattered Water Droplets: Yatapk’oyihím Mom, opened Thursday, November 21, 2024 and ran through Sunday, January 12 2025 at Switchboard Gallery. It showed the intimate relationship between native artists and their tribal waters. These artists were chosen to embody a "scattered" representation of native viewpoints across our region. Participating artists include Billy Hawk Enos, Raymond LeBeau, Jacky Calanchini, Viola LeBeau, Meyo Marrufo, Gemma Benton, Shanti Parks, Deerstine Suehead, and Jacinda Tayaba-Cordero. Scattered Water Droplets is presented by concept:art+movement, in partnership with the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians’ Exhibits and Collections Center (ECC) and Arts and Culture El Dorado as part of the Momím Wadaahá Campaign, made possible by the Capitol Region Creative Corps grant. This activity was funded in part by the California Arts Council, a state agency.
