Meet the Artist: Gregg Deal Communitas Lecture

5:00 PM Russell/Wanlass Performance Hall

6:30 PM In-Gallery Performance at NEHMA

NEHMA is partnering with USU’s College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Art and Design for the March Communitas Lecture. This month we are thrilled to welcome Gregg Deal, whose painting, Ziggindigenous, is featured in The Lure and Lore of the West. Ziggindigenous was newly acquired by NEHMA thanks to the generous support of Cris and Janae Baird.

Gregg Deal (Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe) is a multi-disciplinary artist, activist, and “disruptor.” His work, which includes paintings, murals, performance work, filmmaking, spoken word, and more, is informed by his Native identity and includes exhaustive critiques of American society, politics, popular culture, and history.
