Number of opportunities, such as hours of workshops/direct feedback with the Master Artist, held at Dakota Wicohan, along with dialogue with artist apprentices. 2: Increasing visibility of Dakota Arts. Host community events and exhibits, and distribute our monthly Tiwahe newsletter, that promote Dakota arts and showcase artists in the community.
DW provided 80 hours of horse regalia instruction to ten participants supported by an Assistant Artist and Master Artist. We evaluate by tracking the number of hours with the Master/Assistant Artists, opportunities provided for the artists to show their work, and though participant surveys issued to the Apprentice Artists at the conclusion of the program. 2: We increased the visibility of Dakota Arts within and outside of the Dakota community in our geographic area.
