Native American Art and Live Music

Avery Gallery is excited to welcome back Hubert Wackermann & Sons of Natives for the September Artwalk!  We also will showcase Music of Marjan, music from Persia!

Though born and educated in West Germany, Hubert Wackermann is eminently qualified to depict his favorite subject matter; the North American Indian, his natural surroundings, and relevant wild life.

Now living in Marietta, GA, Wackermann continues to tell the stories of the daily lives of Native Americans through his paintings.  He is close friends with several families in tribes in Canada and southwestern states who are members of Cree and Mohawk, Lakota Sioux, and Navajo.

Sons of Natives is a group of men with diverse cultural backgrounds.  They have been inspired by their history and love to play flutes and Native American music.

Born in Tehran, Iran in 1981, Marjan Tavakoli began playing Daf at the age of sixteen followed by the 3-stringed Tanbur.  She has studied under Ali Akbar Moradi, and performed and collaborated with the Lavach group and the Mehr ensemble.  Now living in Marietta, GA, Marjan enjoys educating others about classic Persian instruments and music.

Meet and talk to Hubert, Gaylon, Andrew, and Marjan.  Listen to the stories and music of Native Americans and Persians.  5 to 9 pm, Friday, September 6 at Avery Gallery.  A delicious taste of GG's Creole Cuisine will be served and liquid refreshments will be available.  Parking is free in our parking lot next to our building and next door in front of Cobb Hardware, after 6 pm.
