Stan Padilla (Yaqui) is a prominent local painter, author, and muralist who has served as an art educator and youth mentor for the UAIC Tribal School for the past fifteen years. A member of the highly esteemed Royal Chicano Airforce artist collective, Padilla’s work delves into themes of spirituality and folklore while celebrating traditional knowledge, Indigenous communities, and social justice. Presented over three unique galleries, visitors can explore Padilla’s collaborative projects with UAIC Tribal students in a recreated Tribal classroom, reflect on his philosophies of mentorship, and experience his dynamic vision for a future rooted in ancestral knowledge.
Free opening celebration and reception on Sunday, October 15th, from 1pm-4pm at the Maidu Museum & Historic Site.
