Join us for the launch of new artistic installation that invites visitors to look at this map of Canada in a new way. Welcome to Turtle Island is a collaboration between fused glass artists Melinda Robertson (Anishinaabe – Lake Manitoba First Nation) and Shannon Monk (Anisininew – St. Theresa Point First Nation / Mi’kmaq – Lennox Island First Nation / Celtic – Nova Scotia) of Tribal Fusion Art.

What to expect:

  • An opportunity to hear from the Artists and Museum staff about the intervention.
  • An opportunity to speak with the Artists directly about their collaboration on the project.
  • Refreshments reflecting the diversity of Indigenous food in Canada.
