FREE Handdrum Weaving, Artist Talk, and Gallery Closing Reception with Indigenous Artist Quinn Smallboy

30 September 2023 at 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Saturday: September 30 (1 day), National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Workshop and artist talk: 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Closing Reception: 2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Coinciding with Quinn Smallboy’s DVSA Gallery Exhibition, in this free artist talk and workshop you’ll learn how to create a visual story by looping and intertwining string within the frame of a handdrum, reminiscent of “cat’s cradle” string hand games. This reinterpretation of both the traditional drum form and the practice of weaving, explores Quinn’s artist practice of what it means to be a contemporary, Indigenous artist. Advanced registration required. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by a parent/caregiver. Participants must be registered in order to create a drum.
