Painted Desert Project

Join the SPU Art Department for an examination of art, culture, and community building on the Navajo Nation at a special lecture on Monday, November 3, 7 p.m. in Demaray Hall 150. Guest lecturer Chip Thomas is a medical doctor serving a diverse set of communities in the American Southwest, but he is also an accomplished photographer and street artist who has wheat-pasted his large-scale photographs throughout the world. 

Chip is currently the organizer of the “Painted Desert Project,” which invites well-known urban street artists to create pieces on the rural Navajo Nation. His visit is funded through a generous grant from an anonymous foundation. Learn more at the event website.
