Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel Hosts Art Show to Celebrate Indian Heritage Month

SALAMANCA, N.Y. – To celebrate National American Indian Heritage Month in November, the Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel will host an art show as part of its fourth annual “Experience the Culture” celebration. The show, which is free and open to the public, begins November 1 and runs until November 22 on property in the bus lobby.

The art show features authentic Native-made artwork, traditional crafts, paintings, baskets and other handmade artifacts from more than a dozen members of the Seneca Artist Guild, a nonprofit community organization dedicated to promoting and supporting Seneca and other Haudenosaunee artists.

An opening reception for the show will take place on Friday, November 5 at 7 p.m. and will feature performances by the Seven Generations Dance Troupe. Artists will be in attendance and light hors d’oeuvres will be served.

Also slated for viewing in the hotel lobby from October 28 through November 22 during the Experience the Culture celebration is a Native American artifact and veteran display, featuring a collection from the late Joe Curry. Curry, a member of the Seneca Nation and war veteran who was a longtime friend and consultant to Seneca Gaming Corporation, passed away earlier this year.

The Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel organized the Art Show in collaboration with the Seneca Nation Tourism Division and the Seneca-Iroquois National Museum. For more information, please visit www.senecanation.com.
