✨️Updates and Grattitude✨️
Yesterday, I attended the Rock, Paper, Scissors event at the Art Gallery of Guelph with the . I am currently in university and a contributing editor for the Embassy Cultural House as part of my internship credit for this year. Founders Ron Benner and Jamelie Hassan have been integral in my learning to be an art curator and developing my skills in ways that will help my future practice.
However, I still want to continue doing beadwork, and as artists themselves, they have both been supportive and encouraging in my endeavors to promote my beadwork. Ron and Jamelie generously offered me a spot at the Embassy Cultural House table to sell my work, and I sold 4 out of 6 pairs I brought to the event! I am so grateful to have opportunities to sell in person and hope to do my own booths someday.
The Embassy Cultural House is a not-for-profit collective that has been supportive of Indigenous artists and scholars locally and internationally. Not only collaborating with Indigenous artists and curators, but also including Indigenous artwork within the ECH archives, throughout their publications, and in their exhibitions.
Miigwetch/Niawen to all my supporters and customers! I hope to replenish my beadwork stock soon once I find some time to do so.
