Marquette, MI – August 22, 2024 – The City of Marquette Arts & Culture Center is hosting the installation of the ‘Seven Grandfather Teachings’ sculpture by artist Jason Quigno early next month.
Pruiett said the installation will be held at 5:30pm on Friday, September 6th at the entrance of the recent Spear Dock walking pier renovation in the City’s Lower Harbor.
She explained that Quigno is an Anishinaabe contemporary stone sculptor and tribal citizen of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe.
He has carved seven locally quarried boulders to represent each of the Seven Grandfathers and the teachings they offer. The stones will be placed in a circle at the land’s end of the pier.
Pruiett added that to celebrate the installation, several events are planned for that evening, including comments from the artist, musical performances and a laser light show on the Ore Dock.
