The "Celebration of the First People"
exhibit at the Ferry Buidling Gallery in West Van marks two
very important events. Created by guest curator and artist
Xwa Lack Tun (Rick Harry), the exhibit showcases 20 Native
artists and features Salish, Kwakiutl and Haida art. Running
from July 10-28, the exhibit also marks the 15th anniversary
of the Ferry Building Gallery. Opening night celebrations
took place on July 10 complete with Native drums, canoes
and
barbecued salmon, all of which drew a large crowd and even
a few television cameras. Congratulations to all.

With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would
quickly exceed the amount of memory needed. If you would like to receive a copy
of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the
details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number
and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for
security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures
to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo.
Thanks. |
