Join us this Wednesday at our 111B Grafton Street location in Charlottetown for our weekly Artisan Afternoon session. This week we will be hosting Patricia Bourque from Lennox Island First Nation as she showcases her photography and digital media.
Connect with artisans as they showcase their traditional art through live demonstrations, offering a rare glimpse into time-honored techniques passed down through generations. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to engage directly with the artists—asking questions and gaining deeper insight into the cultural significance behind each piece. This interactive experience celebrates the rich heritage, skill, and stories of Indigenous communities while fostering meaningful connections between artisans and visitors.
What you might expect during Artisan Afternoons:
- Watch a Mi’kmaq basket take shape from natural materials
- See intricate quillwork or beadwork in progress
- Learn about the symbolism in traditional designs
- Speak directly with artisans about their creative process and cultural inspiration
- Purchase pieces directly from the artist, knowing your support helps sustain Indigenous culture and small business
