COLORADO SPRINGS — On May 9, the Town of Vail in Colorado shared an update about its upcoming Art in Public Places (AIPP) artist residency with Húŋkpapȟa Lakȟóta artist Danielle SeeWalker, who had been invited to paint a mural in the town highlighting Native American culture. "Our decision not to move forward with SeeWalker’s residency was not made in a vacuum; after releasing her name in an announcement, community members, including representatives from our local faith-based communities, raised concerns to town staff around SeeWalker’s recent rhetoric on her social media platform about the Hamas-Israel war," the statement said.
