American Indian Art in Paris Nov 27 - Dec 2, 2012

ART EN CAPITAL
Salon du Dessin et de la Peinture a’ l’eau
Paris, France

Fourteen American Indian and First Nations artists are cordially invited to exhibit in the 2012 Art en Capital~Salon du Dessin et de la Peinture à l’Eau, which will be celebrated November 27 ~ December 2, 2012, at the spectacular Grand Palais in Paris, France.

The Délégation Amérindienne represents the second delegation of Native artists ever to exhibit during this invitation-only event, which is one of the most prestigious art shows in the world. American Indian and First Nations artists invited to exhibit in the Salon du Dessin et de la Peinture à l’Eau will share their works with more than 40,000 visitors and fellow artists during the annual weeklong celebration in Paris.

For more than half a century, art lovers, collectors, gallery owners, and art connoisseurs from around the world have converged each year under the majestic glass ceiling of the immense Grand Palais to view masterworks by more than 2,000 artists.

Art on display and for sale in each of the five distinct salons is created by the artists specifically for the event. The Salon des Artistes Français, the Salon des Artistes Indépendants, Comparaisons, the Salon du Dessin et de la Peinture à l'eau, and the Société Nationale des Beaux-arts, offer a vastly insightful artistic dialogue among the vanguard of contemporary artistic visual voices.

The Délégation Amérindienne represents the North American continent once again this year in the Salon du Dessin et de la Peinture à l'eau, the event’s salon devoted exclusively to works in water- based paint on paper.

Featuring Ginette Adamson, Russ Tall Chief, Kayeri Akweks, Roy Boney, Jr., Joe Don Brave, Michael Chiago, Sr., Candace Curr, Anthony Deiter, Starr Hardridge, MaryBeth Nelson, Dionne Paul,  Drue Alexis Ridley, Marla Skye, Dana Tiger, Christie Tiger, & April White.
