The Gretchen Schuette Art Gallery is a gem

Gretchen Schuette Art Gallery

 

Current Show - AMPKWA; munk lush nsayka shawash tilixam

We invite you to view the current exhibit in the Gretchen Schuette Art Gallery, AMPKWA; munk lush nsayka shawash tilixam (Ampkwa: Healing Our Indigenous Relatives), a powerful photography exhibit by Amanda Freeman, artist and advocate.

Amanda Freeman is the Founder and Chair of Ampkwa Advocacy, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Indigenous communities by raising awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP.) She is a member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and a direct descendant of Chief Solomon Riggs of the Umpqua Tribe.

Her work focuses on the crisis of MMIP. Photographs are a combination of beautiful and jarring imagery which bring the issues of MMIP to the awareness of the viewer.

The gallery is open Mondays through Thursdays, 9 am–4 pm, and Fridays, 10 am–3 pm.

The Gretchen Schuette Art Gallery is in Building 3, Room 122 at the Chemeketa Community College Salem Campus
