Join the Copper Club
The Copper Club is the Bill Reid Gallery’s circle of honoured patrons or treasured paddlers in our canoe. The name is inspired by the symbolism and historic value of copper in the Northwest Coast, signifying value through ancient beliefs. Our wealth is determined not by what we own, but by what we give to one another.
Help us paddle forward and play a vital role in shaping the future of Northwest Coast Indigenous art. By supporting us, you'll be helping us to showcase the dynamic Indigenous artists of today and celebrate their unique talents. Plus, enjoy exclusive art experiences and private events at our gallery throughout the year, while diving into the vibrant and exciting world of Northwest Coast art.
Join our fleet of donors to help us echo the voices of those who came before us in the heavy journey to reconciling and building a vibrant future for Canada, we will go further if we paddle together.
