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 engage in creative production and advance their personal practices alongside peers and faculty mentors. This program aims to celebrate and bolster Métis-specific art, creative forms, and unique ways of being, knowing and doing in a collaborative and critical environment.
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.
The Elliptical Lineages exhibition 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.
