Kapishkum: Métis Gathering Open Studios & Elliptical Lineages Exhibition Tour

Date: Wed, Jul 02 @ 4:00 PM
Location Glyde Hall
4-7 PM
Cash Bar in Glyde Hall

This event is free and all are welcome.

Visit the studios of this year's Kapishkum: Métis Gathering participants and see how they pushed creative boundaries during their five weeks at Banff Centre.

Kapishkum, meaning “to transcend” in Michif, brings together a cohort of Métis artists to practice their personal crafts as well as collaborate and share with peers. The residency program celebrates creative forms, methods, and ways of being that are unique to the Métis, a culture still lesser known in the broader art world.

This is an exciting opportunity for the artists to share their work, and for the public to ask them about their processes. Artists, art appreciators, and curious first-time viewers alike are encouraged to attend.

Visitors are also welcome to join a guided tour of the current exhibition at Walter Phillips Gallery, Elliptical Lineages. The tour begins at 5:00 p.m. in the Walter Phillips Gallery lobby.

Visual Arts is supported by the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Outstanding Artist Program.
