Advance registration is recommended.

Denise “Weetahmoe” Silva-Dennis is a multidisciplinary artist and educator from the Shinnecock Nation. Her practice includes figurative painting, traditional Native beadwork, fashion design, and illustration for posters and children’s books. Ranging from narrative murals on a public scale to sewn regalia for family members on an intimate scale, Silva-Dennis uses her creativity to share cultural history and traditions of the Shinnecock people as a form of education and celebration.
