Artrain makes Anniston stop this week

If your idea of Native American art conjures up images of colorful blankets, pottery and turquoise jewelry, you may have been watching too many old Westerns.
These days, Native American art includes fine paintings, funky found-item works, elegant sculptures and handsome photography — in other words, any and all forms of visual art.
From Cherokee to Navajo, Chippewa to Mohawk, 54 such artists will be displaying their works in Anniston this week, part of the Artrain USA tour. Titled “Native Views,†the exhibition pulled into town Saturday — literally on a train — and will be open for business from Tuesday through Sunday.
“There are a lot of exhibits on artifacts and the history of the Native American culture, but not too many that show the native culture as a vibrant part of contemporary culture,†says Nathan Zamarron, tour manager with the Artrain. “This exhibit is attempting to break down some stereotypes of what Native American art really is and how we all, as Americans, have certain influences in common.â€
To represent those universal relationships, the exhibition is divided into three categories: Influences from Popular Culture; Native Knowledge – Land, Science, Wisdom; and Cultural Modernism and Technology. Art on display includes such works as “Urban Indian Yuppies,†a basket created by Pat Courtney Gold of Oregon’s Wasco tribe, and the painting “Rose and Coyote Dressed up for the Heard Show†by Harry Fonseca of the Nisenan-Maidu culture in California.
The Artrain, a collection of five vintage railroad cars, will sit at 300 S. Noble St., in the former Shorty’s Southern Yard location, says Mike Galloway, director of tourism for the Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce, which is sponsoring Artrain’s visit. Organizers had hoped to have it at the former Amtrak station on Fourth Street, Galloway says, but renovations are taking place there and the station currently doesn’t have the 450 feet of straight track needed for the exhibition.
Artrain USA is free. No reservations are needed, Galloway says. “Just show up.â€
“Native Views†has been traveling on the Artrain since 2004, and it will end its tour in New Orleans in November, Zamarron says. “It takes three to four years to reach the entire country.â€
The train generally travels to smaller cities whose residents might not have access to large art museums, he says.
“On one hand, it’s bringing exhibitions to people who otherwise wouldn’t see them,†Zamarron says. “And on the other, it’s building communities by providing all of the components for a large, community-wide event.â€
