The show, “Dawnland Inspirations: Mashpee Wampanoag Art,” will be on view from March 4 to March 28 in the Landrau-Partan Gallery at Falmouth Art Center.

The opening reception for the show on March 4, from 4 to 6 PM, is free and open to the public.

Tribe member Paula Peters, who curated the show, said, “this work of contemporary Mashpee Wampanoag artists exhibits a diversity in subject, style, medium but is connected by a common cultural theme and inspiration that comes from their Dawnland heritage. Bringing it all together for this show is a celebration of that heritage in distinctly unique styles of each artist.”
