Hockaday awards visual arts scholarship to Browning graduate

Browning High School graduate Adam Still Smoking has been awarded the Mark D. Norley Memorial Scholarship for Visual Arts by the Hockaday Museum of Art.   

The $1,000 scholarship recognizes an outstanding art student in any visual art medium including painting, drawing, photography, print making, 3D design, ceramics, illustration, graphic design, film/video, or costume/fashion. 

Adam Still Smoking, a Lakota and Blackfeet aspiring artist, grew up in Browning. His father, established artist Luis Still Smoking, has had a significant influence on his life, although Adam Still Smoking said that as a child, he had not considered an art career. Participating in the Paint the State Mural Contest in 2023 changed his mind and inspired him to pursue art studies.
