I hope this message finds you well! I am reaching out on behalf of a talented local artist that has an incredibly significant and educational exhibit available from now until September 2025. This exhibit is sitting in storage waiting to be displayed in a new
venue. Maybe it could fill yours for the remainder of your exhibiting year? </div>

The exhibition catalogue is attached; it was premiered at the Pendulum Gallery in July of 2023. It's 141 handmade miniature cradleboards/baby bundles on 5 large traditionally tanned hides including buffalo, elk, moose, deer, and bear. It tells the history
and story of Residential Schools in Canada, the Indigenous joy of reclaiming traditions and the continuation of culture through the youth. Note, precautions would need to be taken to ensure the items would not be touched.</div>
