Step into the vibrant, intimate world of Bailey Macabre ✨

A queer, disabled, neurodivergent agender Nêhiyaw Michif Ukrainian artist from Nanaimo, BC, Bailey’s interdisciplinary work spans illustration, textiles, sculpture, writing, and media arts — exploring Indigenous joy, queer passion, healing, and sovereignty.

Their work has appeared in HarperCollins novels, children’s books, and exhibitions across Canada, and now you can experience these powerful pieces in person.
Come spend time with the work, connect with the stories it carries, and see the exhibit up close. 💫
📸 Unsettled Artifacts by @jill_marie_holslin is now on view.

Using family photographs, land deeds, maps, and images made on Dakota and Ojibwe lands, Holslin creates layered works that challenge ideas of ownership, memory, and belonging.

The exhibition asks:
Who gets to belong to land—and who gets erased from its history?

Join us Saturday for Jill Marie Holslin's lecture:
🎤 “Unsettling the Archive: Reweaving the Stories We Inherit”
🗓 May 23

See the exhibition and hear directly from the artist about the stories embedded within archives, landscapes, and inherited histories.

LAST DAY to experience Sacred Threshold by @badiabibiana ✨

A deeply immersive exhibition where textile becomes a language of healing, ancestry, and spiritual exploration.

Embroidered eyes invite expanded perception. A rhomboid portal leads toward a “cosmic egg” — a symbol of rebirth and pure potential. At the center of the work, a dialogue with artist Zulema Ruiz transforms embroidery into an act of inherited memory and meditation.

Today is your final chance to see this extraordinary exhibition before it closes.
