National Indigenous History Month at artsPlace
Celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day
FREE Creative Kits
artsPlace, in partnership with Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, the Town of Canmore and the Town of Banff, is celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day with Creative Kits.
This year, the kits share stories by Stoney Artists Cheyenne Bearspaw, Tyson Crawler, and Holly Kaquitts, and feature a Mini Colouring Book with their artwork! The Creative Kits are meant to help young artists be inspired by Stoney Nakoda Artists, while understanding the difference between Cultural Appreciation and Cultural Appropriation when practicing their own creativity.
