Please come to Seminar Room One located on the concourse level in the Weston Family Learning Centre.
Haida Artists Jaalen and Gwaai Edenshaw have spent decades studying the treasures of their ancestors in collections at home and in museums and galleries around the world.

In their talk they will share highlights and insights from their journey of study and creation in the art of the Haida.
