Miami Valley artists give a closer look at their art.

Chillicothe and the Dayton area — “Reflections of Sunwatch: Ancient Cultures” had its opening Friday night in the Pump House Center for the Arts.

Half of the show is by ten Miami Valley artists Inspired by a reconstructed late-prehistoric American Indian village near Dayton, and the other half is by local artists that highlight Native American culture.

Learn more in my previous story, including an introductory video on the show. And just because you get a complete tour of the Sunwatch part of show in my video below, do go see before it closes July 27th!

(If I may say – though it is inspired by a different era, this show harmonizes with the recent World Heritage recognition of the Hopewell earthworks in Ross County and elsewhere, and its potential for local culture, tourism, and economic impact.)

“Totem Installation” by local artist Jason Vaughan-Kinnamon, apparently a wood carving that has been scorched to carbon black, with the addition of ceramics and more.
Miami Valley artist Andrew Luring shows local artist Stewart Beverly a couple of his wood-panel paintings, including “Mordecai Hopewell.”
Artist Andrew Luring said this was inspired by seeing the Mound City earthworks surrounded by prisons, and the fact that some new prisons have only video visitation of prisoners. The work “Ceremonial Incarceration” features the barely noticeable lettering “in person visitation is a human right.”
