The River of Time Museum and Exploration Center features the work of Hopi Artist Travis Tubinaghtewa who will provide an upcoming presentation of his creative process and Hopi heritage.

The presentation is Saturday Feb. 17, at 10:30 a.m. Light refreshments will be served. In addition to the current exhibit, Tubinaghtewa will share his Kachinas.

His work is available for public viewing free of charge through Feb.  29. The exhibit is titled, “We Are Still Here- Sharing the Hopi Story.”

Tubinaghtewa is a registered member of the Hopi Tribe, a painter and a Kachina carver. His work is currently sold at the Heard Museum and is also priced for sale at the River of Time.

A Tempe resident, Tubinaghtewa is a graduate of Fine Arts at Phoenix College. His father is Buddy Tubinaghtewa, a famous Kachina carver.

It’s been said that Travis Tubinaghtewa is on track to becoming a unique component in the Hopi art world, according to a press release from Cherie Koss, executive director of the River of Time.

He grew up in what he describes as “two worlds” receiving a formal education in the city, but also able to travel to participate in ancient Hopi ceremonies, Koss said.

Tubinaghtewa’s work is a blend of modern art practices and Native American imagery with respectful nods to his background, Koss added.

The River of Time Museum & Exploration Center is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
