The Raven's Call

A successful launch of The Raven's Call, a virtual exhibition celebrating Bill Reid: one of Canada's Greatest Artists, was held at the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art on May 8, 2010. The launch also coincided with the Gallery's second anniversary making it a great day to celebrate!

The Raven's Call is the largest, most current and comprehensive website on Bill Reid. It is an excellent resource for educational groups and many other groups and individuals interested in learning more about Bill Reid. It is also an exploration of identity, offering a chance for us all to reflect on our own cultural roots.

The launch was an interactive event with audience members presenting their take on an ending to an unfinished story by Bill Reid entitled The Raven's Call.
