As part of the “Indigenous Resurgence Exhibition” there will be a Friday evening (Aug.9th) fashion show beginning at 6 pm.   As a special feature of this year’s Indigenous Resurgence Exhibition, three artists from across British Columbia have come together to bring indigenized-fashion to the shores of where the rivers meet.  Join us for an engaging showcase of stunning indigenous artwork, light finger food accompanied by refreshments, and an exclusive social event with the artists behind the work.

There will be an opportunity to purchase items shown on the runway after the show.
