This event is part of our Fall Drum Workshop Series!

October is Mi’kmaq History Month, and we have some exciting events lined up. We’d like to respectfully acknowledge that these events take place in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq people.

An established Mi’kmaq artist, Alan Syliboy’s work is influenced by the indigenous Mi’kmaq rock drawing and quill weaving traditions. Working in acrylic and mixed media, Alan creates vibrantly coloured images exploring the themes of family, searching, spirituality, struggle, and strength. The use of layering symbols and mark-making creates depth and texture in Alan’s work.

These workshops will have very limited space, so please contact us right away to reserve a spot. We are offering several free places to youth and members of Glooscap and Annapolis Valley First Nations. The remaining spots are available at a cost of:

Oct. 2nd Drum-making,- includes materials and a drum you can keep

Oct. 8 Drum-painting - Suggested donation $50, bring your own drum
