Creation Stories: Carrying Our Traditions Forward

On View from June 19 - September 18, 2024

Featuring 10 emerging and mid-career Indigenous artists, Creation Stories: Carrying Our Traditions Forward provides an opportunity for the 2022 YVR Art Foundation (YVRAF) scholarship recipients to exhibit works created with their awards.

A variety of art practices are explored in Creation Stories, but a common thread is the important role that family connection and mentorship play in carrying cultural traditions forward, and that creativity is a gift to be shared.
