The Artist of the Month program was the first creative project Michelle and Neil put forward in their new roles as Artistic Director and Executive Director in 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic was in full swing and this program felt like the perfect way to (safely) celebrate local Indigenous artists while we were unable to physically be together.

 

Since then, the program has gained momentum and become a staple in Making Treaty 7's season. We continue to highlight Indigenous talent in Treaty 7 territory each month on our socials and blog with the program culminating in a gallery showcase each June to celebrate the artists of the year during Indigenous History Month.
