The Tri-County Arts Council is proud to present “Yadahta:wak Hihšönya:nö’ (Father & Son – They Make Things)” Pottery, sculpture, and paintings by renowned artists Peter and Mike Jones.

His work is in private and public collections world-wide, including the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian and Heard Museum.
