We are pleased to showcase a unique loan collection of 3″ Christmas ball with historically correct Native American portraits painted by Judith Bancroft of Onaway, MI. Judith carefully researched and meticulously hand painted 100 balls of which 63 are on exhibit at the Pickford Museum through September. The portraits represent many tribes across America including some from the Chippewa County area and include a brief biography of each one. Judith entered her collection in Art Prize in Grand Rapids in 2016 and chose our museum for the second public showing.
