PRINCE GEORGE–There’s some new Indigenous-inspired artwork that you can see at the Two Rivers Art Gallery starting Tuesday, which created by kids.
It’s part of the Mîtawîtân (Let’s Play!) project.
Artist Catherine Ruddell, who is of Métis and settler descendent, developed 200 free art kits for kids.
The kits come with materials and a prompt written in the Michif language. The prompts are different types of summer activities. Kids made stamps out of string, fun-foam, and cardboard.
“She’s going to using the different stamps that people made from kits that we gave out over the last few weeks. Usually, each year we do kids art days which is a massive outdoor event, which obviously we couldn’t plan for this year. We sent out about 200 kits and she’s going to be putting stamps up of the different stamps people made throughout these series of walls here.” said Kaos Chuckcanpbell, Visitor Services, Two Rivers Art Gallery
The artwork will be on displayed from July 6th to August 8th.
