Celebrating Indigenous artwork across the Northeast
A calendar of Indigenous art is raising money for a local scholarship fund.
The initiative was created by Cumberland College’s First Nation Metis Advisory Council to feature student’s creativity. The program expanded to the entire North East School Division (NESD) region last year following a solid response for entries. Cumberland College marketing manager Brenda Mellon said they received a wide variety of pieces this year.
“We are very pleased with the quality of artwork as well as the number of submissions,” she said.
First year arts and science student Heather Hendry was one of the students whose art was selected by a small committee. She said a wildlife piece of a “wisdom wolf” was a great fit for the genre.
