[BCMA] New exhibition open now at Amelia Douglas Institute for Metis Culture and Language

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

In early 2025, 13 Métis artists participated in an MNBC Heritage Arts Mentorship with Cree-Métis artist Cynthia Boehm: this is the result.

Come to the ADI Showroom and see our exhibition of 13 new mini dog blankets created by amazing artists in our community. See photos of these blankets on some of the artists' own cats and dogs!

Métis dog blankets are a vibrant and meaningful part of Métis material culture. Originally used to decorate and protect dogs that pulled sleds and carried goods, these carefully crafted blankets tell stories of artistry, community, and connection to animals and the land.

Open April 22 to June 27, 2025. Book a visit online<https://ameliadouglasinstitute.ca/forms/visit-us> or drop in Tues-Thurs, 11-12.


The Amelia Douglas Institute is the centre of Métis culture and language resources in B.C. Our showroom opened in March 2024 with rotating and permanent exhibitions is located in north Surrey and is easily accessible by skytrain and transit. Admission is a $5 donation.
