Cradled Origins

On view from September 12, 2026 – January 17, 2027

Opening Reception: September 12th, 12–3 PM. Free Admission.

Cradled Origins is a selection of artworks that features eight emerging and mid-career First Nations artists working in a variety of mediums. Through carvings, weavings, paintings and beadwork, each artist honours the cultural knowledge that they carry and hold while expanding the boundaries of their individual practices. Demonstrated in this exhibition are examples of those connections and the understanding of the weight and importance of teachings that have been passed down from generation to generation. 

Co-curated by Bill Reid Gallery curators Aliya Boubard and Carmen Redunante, this exhibition features the work of Chase Gray, Chico Seitcher, Delphine Campbell, Grace Edwards, James Kwaksistala, Kashka Clellamin, and Serena Steel. 

The Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art is proud to partner with the YVR Art Foundation to present and celebrate the recipients of the 2024 Artist Scholarships for this exhibition.
