Calling Young (18-30) Indigenous Artists. 10 Artists will be selected for sessions starting in January for a June Exhibition. This is a group exhibition in response to Mi’kmaw artist Jordan Bennett’s upcoming solo exhibition, Ketu’elmita’jik (They want to go home). Expressing Mi’kmaw visual culture through wearable design, 10 artists will create two final pieces to showcase within this exhibition.

The focus is on 2D patterns and representational design; whether this is a wallet, hat, vest, shoes – it’s all up to the artists and how they wish to express themselves. The participants will come together in collaboration to create one sculptural piece to showcase in the exhibition, opening at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in June 2019. See Pdf for more details.
