MIGWETCH:

A Celebration and Appreciation of the of the Heritage and Future of Aboriginal and Canadian Art

For the past 20 years, Gallery de Boer – Fine Art & Jazz has always had a healthy representation of Native art in our gallery. We’ve represented a variety of well known Native artists and had a number of exhibitions devoted to their work.

However lately I’ve become uncomfortable with keeping Native art separate from the rest of our gallery. Canadian Aboriginal and Inuit art is an exciting and vibrant part of the Canadian art scene. Aboriginal and Inuit artists are increasingly being recognized and sought after throughout Canada and the world.

For the past 14 months our focus has been to put together an exhibit that best represents the Woodland artists, spearheaded by Norval Morrisseau and an incredible support cast. They include: Carl Ray, Isaac Bignell, Blair DeBassige, James Simon, Carl Beam, Leland Bell, Josh Kakegamic, David Williams, David Morrisseau, Isadore Wadow, Randy Trudeau, Don Ningewance, Goyce Kakegamic, Shirlee CheeChoo and many others

As part of this exciting new exhibition we are also showing an evolving cornucopia: a selection of the best Gallery de Boer Fine Art & Jazz has to offer. An exciting array of artists, styles and periods will be on display.

Please join us for a special Open House Reception and Sale of MEGWITCH on Thursday September 25th from 7 pm to 10 pm.
