Indigenous artists featured at Art Toronto art fair this weekend
Virtual component of fair online from Oct 29 to Nov 7
Indigenous artists being featured at Art Toronto this weekend at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre say the amount and variety of Indigenous work at the art fair shows its diversity.
Over 60 galleries will be participating in the fair, with five galleries exclusively representing Indigenous creators and 22 galleries displaying works from various Indigenous artists. There will also be a virtual component online from Oct 29 to Nov 7.
One of the fair's featured artists is Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, a Haida artist from British Columbia. He will be showing three works.
Two are examinations of classic Haida icons, mutli-coloured works on paper. The third work is from a series called Coppers from the Hood. They are made out of repurposed automobile hoods, covered in copper and decorated with Haida designs. The series has been exhibited in several places, including the British Museum in London, England.
