I tell the story of our heritage and the importance of preserving traditional values. I use mixed media with photography as a visual demonstration of the blending of traditional images with 21st-century technology. By understanding and embracing our ancestral past, we can use those teachings to preserve a way of life, document its core values, and build a vision for our future."Each workshop is designed to foster learning, creativity, and cultural understanding while giving participants the opportunity to learn directly from a First Nations Knowledge Carrier and artist in a welcoming, hands-on environment.Advance registration is required, and participation is limited to 20 people per workshop. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/39ac7ba0-a583-11f1-8990-5d04d231a2dd-rimg-w987-h740-dcb8b8a8-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/stratford/indigenous-arts-and-cultural-learning-series-painting/100001996164467658 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, fine-arts, health-wellness, drawing-painting - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Falstaff Family Centre - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Stratford - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Falstaff Family Centre - **lat**: 43.3757495 - **long**: -80.9792451 - **full address**: Falstaff Family Centre, 35 Waterloo Street North, Stratford, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Indigenous Arts and Cultural Learning Series - Painting - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/e59c960360452afc62b7ea0f85f9978d8e998822a2fb5354d62b8a73e58325e3-rimg-w1200-h900-dcb8b8a8-gmir.jpg?v=1785670328 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Indigenous Arts and Cultural Learning Series - Painting being held? - **A:** Indigenous Arts and Cultural Learning Series - Painting takes place on Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Falstaff Family Centre, 35 Waterloo Street North, Stratford, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Indigenous Arts and Cultural Learning Series - Painting? - **A:** Indigenous Arts and Cultural Learning Series - Painting is organized by Kaswentha Two Row Now. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
