The Exhibition will run from October 10th to October 24th at The Oval and The Gallery on the Upper Level in Yorkville Village, located at 55 Avenue Road in Toronto, Ontario.

In collaboration with Gallery On Queen of Fredricton (N.B.), Bear Paw New Media Productions (N.B.), Unorthodox Yukon, Whitehorse (Y.T.), and Highness Global, Toronto (ON). The Exhibition brings together a remarkable collection of contemporary Indigenous artists from across Canada. The artwork on display encompasses a range of multidisciplinary mediums, including sculptural works in copper, silver, quill, and beadwork, as well as paintings on canvas and birchbark, and visual media.

Featured artists in the exhibition include Autumn Smith/Mishiikenh, Alexis Nanibush/Pamajewong, Nyle Miigizi Johnston, Michelle Sound, Jean Taylor, Adanchilla Pauls, Megan/Guna Jensen, Heather Dickson, Cohen Quash, Randi Nelson and Violet Gatensby. We will also be exhibiting artists from Gallery on Queen’s annual Wabanaki exhibition, including Brian Francis, Audrey Arsenault, Nancy Oakley, Gary Sanipass, Chan Polchies, Pauline Young, Tim Hogan, Shane Perley-Douchet, and Charlie Gaffney. This will be the third year running in Yorkville Village for this monumental exhibtion. Existing works from these artists are featured in museums, galleries and public spaces as well as being sought after by private collectors. Each artist brings a unique perspective and artistic expression, contributing to the rich tapestry of contemporary Indigenous art in Canada.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”3422″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://jlphillips.com/megan-guna-jensen/”][vc_column_text]
