Santa Clarita residents are invited to attend the opening reception of “Putting on Power” on Wednesday, July 11 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Guest at the event will be the first to see showcases of Native American inspired art, which will be on display at the public library for two months.
Masks are an important part of Native American culture, and have been known to be used in healing, coming of age and ghost feast (grief) ceremonies, according to historians.
The exhibit highlights the Native American mask in its different variations and purposes, and will be available for the public to see at The Old Town Newhall Library, located at 24500 Main Street in Newhall.
Three different types of masks are expected to be on display for viewing: the single face (a simple mask based off of the Native American masks), a mechanical masks (which contain moving parts) and the transformation mask (which combines two masks into one).
Each mask holds its own unique appeal made from different materials including wood, gourds and feathers.
