The American Heritage Gallery, located inside the American Adventure Pavilion at Epcot, is a beautiful new art exhibit featuring the artistry of American Indian communities both historical and contemporary.
“Native communities from 7 geographic regions across the United States are included in the gallery. Their art represents the richness, depth and diversity of Native cultures past and present. Among the featured artists with works on display are fashion designer Loren Aragon (Acoma Pueblo), noted doll-maker Glenda McKay (Ingalik-Athabascan) and Juanita Growing Thunder (Assiniboine Sioux) from the Growing Thunder family of Montana.” – Walt Disney World Resort
The exhibit features 89 items from authentic, historical Native artifacts to contemporary works of American Indian art. There are 40 different American Indian tribes from seven geographic regions across the United States that are represented in this gallery.
This amazing exhibit is just another reason why you should always search out the undiscovered at Epcot and for that matter, the entire Walt Disney World Resort. Will you be visiting the new exhibit, “Creating Tradition: Innovation and Change in American Indian Art,” the next time you are at Epcot’s World Showcase?
