About the Market
In our vibrant community, artists are not just creators —they are the heartbeat of our culture and heritage. Their work embodies our stories, our traditions, and our spirit, translating the richness of our Métis identity into tangible forms. This market is a celebration of their invaluable contributions and a testament to their role in preserving and revitalizing our cultural legacy.
Supporting artists is essential, not only because it sustains their craft but also because it strengthens the fabric of our community. By purchasing their work, you’re investing in the continuity of our traditions and the innovation of new expressions that keep our culture dynamic and alive. Thank you for being here and for supporting the artists who enrich our lives and our heritage.
