Event Description

A unique art show in Canada with First Nations artists from across Canada. Local Coast Salish artists, Northwest Coast artists as well as Metis, Mohawk, Haida, Cree, Ojibwa, Dene, Inuit and Chickasaw Nations.

The whole gallery will be displayed to reflect the intent and spirit of the event. The diversity of art expressions include: carving, weaving, prints,fabric art, drums, pottery, beading, leather work, painting, jewelry, and some items that might surprise you.

While there have been one time art exhibitions, this is the first continuous art show that has rep-resented local Coast Salish territories artists, along with First Nations artists from across Canada. There are also works by other Indigenous artisans whose heritage is Inuit, Métis, and Native American.

The purpose of the art show is to provide artists with opportunities to expose local audiences to an exhibition of their work and to nurture within the community an appreciation of the wide spectrum of visual and performing art crafted by our Aboriginal Artists. This function touches the very roots of the community and the Mary Winspear Centre objectives while also reaching out to bridge gaps and promote understanding within our region.
