Join us in the Anvil Centre Community Art Gallery next Thursday evening on June 20 for the opening of "Under My Wing" by Cedar Sage & Sweetgrass!

Cedar Sage & Sweetgrass seeks to encourage and promote young Indigenous Artists. We created Cedar Sage & Sweetgrass with the goal of giving Indigenous Artists a forum where they could show their best art, connect and encourage one another.

This exhibit is entitled “Under My Wing”. Taken under the wing means protection and keeping warm and dry, generally showing the ropes, coaching and nurturing. It's a reference to birds, who when they perceive danger, gather their chicks together and cover them with a wing.

Artists featured in “Under My Wing” include Maryanne Lindberg-Landrie, Pat Calihou, James Groening, Sheila Rae Lowe, Chantelle Trainor-Matties, Ryan Hughes, Jerry Whitehead, and Feature Artist Ronald George Straight!

[ID: A zoomed in portion of Chantelle Trainor-Matties' painting Ts'ik (Hawk) is overlaid with a teal block which contains white text that says, "The Anvil Centre Presents: The Opening Reception of "Under My Wing" By Cedar Sage and Sweetgrass. Thurs. June 20, 2024. 6:00-8:00PM. Community Art Gallery Hours: Fri-Wed, 10am-5pm, Thur 10am-8pm."]
