The Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition program is proud to share this stunning exhibition with you.  Created by Indigenous artists in Canada, it features paintings by Linus Woods that capture the spirit and personality of the animals that inhabit Alberta’s boreal forests.  Angelique Merasty Levac is an acclaimed master of the traditional craft of birch bark biting, a process of dentally perforating designs into folded thin sheets of birch bark to make a mark or pierce the surface.  Caribou Hair Tufting & Beadwork pieces created by Anna Chohkolay, Moose Hair Tufting by Dolly Metchoyah, Quillwork by Doris Duntra and Rose Nande, and Embroidered / Beaded work by Louise Dahdona, Nora Talley, and Sharon Rose Kootenay.

Shamrock & Thistle Textile Art Exhibition

Margaret Blank and Mary Wilton capture the Scottish highlands with their beautiful fibre art.  Working with textiles, needle felting, quilting and applique, these talented women recreate beautiful memories from their travels.  Florals, landscapes, brickwork and abbeys all created for you to immerse yourself in.  You will think you are looking at photographs of Scotland, but you’re not!
