On November 29, 2023, Americans for the Arts honored G. Peter Jemison as the 2023 recipient of the Johnson Fellowship for Artists Transforming Communities!
This event featured a conversation with G. Peter Jemison and long-time Americans for the Arts board member, John Haworth (Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma), and focused on Jemison’s journey as a contemporary Seneca whose work is rooted in the framework of Native American art, and how this has influenced his political and community activism. His advocacy has led to the establishment of the Ganondagan State Historic Site and the Seneca Art and Culture Center in Victor, NY. This is the only New York State Historic Site dedicated to a Native American theme (1987), and the only Seneca town developed and interpreted in the United States.
