Preston Singletary: Raven and the Box of Daylight
On view now through September 2019

“Raven and the Box of Daylight” is the Tlingit story of Raven and his transformation of the world—bringing light to people via the stars, moon, and sun. The exhibition features a combination of artwork, storytelling, and encounter, where the Tlingit story unfolds during the visitor’s experience.
Singletary uses his mastery of European glass-blowing to adapt new materials into a seamless fusion of modern art, glass, and evolving Tlingit tradition.
