<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to share the details of a very special exhibit happening at the Seymour Art Gallery in North Vancouver called
<b><i>“A love Letter to our Dog Kin”</i></b>. This exhibit runs until November 2<sup>nd</sup> and highlights the beautiful work of four indigenous beaders whose communities traditionally used Tapis (small carpets) that were created to celebrate and honour
their Dog kin. Please see attached for more information and help to spread the word!
