Tonight is the opening reception for “Being Métis” Show and Sale by artist Nathalie Bertin. From images of traditional trades to political statements, tied together by designs inspired from the art of the “Flower Beadwork People”, Bertin celebrates her Algonquin and
French heritage, honours the Métis tradition, recognizes the courage of early Canadian settlers and acknowledges the debt we own to our First Peoples.
Artist Reception and Walk and Talk at 7 p.m., with guest Métis fiddler Alicia Blore. Admission is free.
Aurora Cultural Centre, 22 Church Street.
