February Design Challenges


Bucketfeet empowers artists to share their stories and perspectives using the universal language of art and a shoe as their canvas.
These practices allow us to remain connected to the animal guides so they may teach us their powers and give as lessons of life. These acts remind us that all things in creation are our brothers, sisters, cousins, and more importantly, our teachers and friends. As humans, we too are animal spirits. — Manataka American Indian Council
