A look behind the lands, stories, and peoples that come from the flowing waters of the Ocmulgee to today’s Muscogee traditions, towns, and governments. Randy Kemp is a multidisciplinary artist whose body of work includes painting, printmaking, mixed media, installation, music, and performance. His work includes both traditional tribal life and contemporary works concerning American Indian issues, themes, and views. Bobby C. Martin is an artist/educator/facilitator who works out of his Martin Mountain Studio near West Siloam Springs, Oklahoma. His work began with family photographs, which have turned into countless re-imaginings as monumental paintings or tiny etchings, as drawings or installations and video projects.

The opening will occur the first night of the Firestarters Film Festival, which features Indigenous Films. The art gallery is free and open to the public, but the MAC will also serve as the VIP Lounge for VIP ticket holders for the film festival.
