Phoebe "Songbundle" Legere Invites Artists To Explore "The Wisdom Curve" in a Combs Studio Workshop, August 4th, Prospect Harbor, Maine

Multidisciplinary artist Phoebe "Songbundle" Legere, a direct descendant of the Abenaki people, will lead a painting workshop at Combs Studio in Prospect Harbor on August 4th. This session invites artists of all backgrounds to explore "The Wisdom Curve," a 12,000-year-old artistic technique originating from the Abenaki, a symbol deeply rooted in their culture.

Legere, known for her ancestral ties to the legendary Abenaki and her strong New England heritage, aims to introduce participants to this ancient art form during the three-hour workshop. 

Phoebe Legere’s Magical Abenaki Design Workshop 

Experience the enchantment and wisdom of the ancient Abenaki tradition with Phoebe "Songbundle" Legere, an internationally recognized multidisciplinary artist. 

Legere is a direct descendant of the Abenaki shaman Madokawando—renowned for his mind-reading and magical abilities—and Reverend Peter Powers, the legendary minister of Deer Isle whose "Revolutionary Sermon" was a cornerstone of the American Revolution. Legere brings a unique blend of heritage and creativity to her work.

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime workshop where Legere will guide you through the creation and use of the mystical 12,000-year-old Abenaki double curve, also known as "The Wisdom Curve." This ancient symbol embodies the profound knowledge and artistry of the Abenaki people, and Phoebe Legere will show you how to incorporate this powerful imagery into your own personal designs.

Legere, a legend of the New York Underground scene, has toured with David Bowie and shared formative friendships with Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and Allen Ginsberg. Her work transcends disciplines, often weaving music and dance into her visual art to highlight the beauty of the Abenaki double curve. 

(A link to Phoebe’s Spotify page to listen to her album of Abenaki, native American and indigenous music “Children of The Dawn” : https://open.spotify.com/album/3Uwf1ChwjomwKeTY5lp24I?si=gGVRptGxTPqWL0BcL2Sl5Q

As the National Director of the Foundation for New American Art, Legere is celebrated for her "Paint Brushes Not Guns" program, which brings the joy of artistic expression to children and families. In this workshop, she will teach participants to improvise a personal design using a basic vocabulary of Abenaki symbols, merging ancient wisdom with contemporary creativity. 

Says Legere, “Our mission: to educate, as well as nurture and strengthen, the artistic and musical spirit of under resourced BIPOC and multi-ethnic communities. The Foundation for New American Art is dedicated to nurturing the visionary artists of tomorrow. We are a 501 (c)3 nonprofit bringing art, music, dance & performance to at-risk, underserved communities especially children who have little or no art in their public schools.”

Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to learn from an artist whose heritage and talents are as diverse as they are profound. Join Phoebe "Songbundle" Legere for an unforgettable experience that promises to be fun, authentic, and truly magical.
