In the Ridderhof Martin Gallery, enjoy Adaptation, Innovation, and Tradition: Art from the Patawomeck Community. Organized by Dr. Brad Hatch, Chief Judge and Tribal Council Member, this exhibition explores the art and craft of the Patawomeck community through the juxtaposition of contemporary and historic works by Patawomeck people. Many of these pieces reflect the connections between the Patawomecks and their environment, helping to create and reinforce a deep sense of place as an integral aspect of identity. The innovation shown through Patawomeck art and craft ultimately illustrates how community identity is created, maintained, and remade over broad expanses of time. This exhibit is
supported, in part, by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the Virginia American Revolution 250 Commission (VA250).
