Opening Reception and Community Barbecue | Preparing for the Potlatch (mixed media)

Join us for the opening reception of Preparing for the Potlatch on Thursday, May 30th, 5pm – 7pm!

Co-Curators Candace Campo xets’emits’a, a shíshálh artist and founder of Talasay Tours, Sandy Buck, a Métis artist and co-founder of Deer Crossing The Art Farm, plus collaborating artists and friends present Preparing for the Potlatch, an exhibition at GPAG May 30th-June 23rd. Preparing for the Potlatch is about coming together to explore art as community. The growth, expression and sharing of art is communal and a collective representation that also honours the person practicing art. If we support and celebrate the creation, the work of the artist, it is a gift we all receive, and the art as visual story is our story.
