Encompassing works from the Indigenous Seven, works on display include paintings of the land and family inspired by the mountains of Jasper; views of the Boreal Forest like no other, and images of strength and resistance, which enlighten us to the natural world and ceremony. Imagination and abstraction are shared ideas in the journey of seven artists who, with their inspiration and wisdom, changed the canon of Indigenous art in Canada and continue to inspire future generations of Indigenous artists.
Join us to hear Joseph M. Sanchez talk about the spirituality and the creativity of the Professional Native Indian Artists, Inc. (PNIAI) and their impact on Canadian Art. September 5th, 2024 7-9pm.
With summer fast approaching, we're thrilled to bring back our Cave and Basin Mural Project for Summer 2024! Last week, the Whyte Museum hosted a Cave & Basin Mural Workshop with our talented artists and mentors. A lot of time, thought, and preparation goes into this summer mural project, making the guidance from other artists and mentors essential.
Our incredible mentors for the workshop include:
Joseph Sanchez: A painter from the Indigenous Group of Seven, Joseph offers guidance on image content, connection to place, and artwork creation, along with techniques and drawing development.
Come watch the artists paint from June 2nd to 16th, 2024 at the Cave and Basin! From June 11th to 13th, the artists will be on-site from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. to answer any questions. We can't wait to see you there!
