Stop by the library before January 18 to see our new exhibition, Ahkameyimo – Never Give Up, which features the works by Indigenous artists, Matthew Cardinal and Lonigan Gilbert.

Matthew Cardinal

“Matthew relates that he has been painting for about eight years. In his work, he focuses on emotions and he describes his work as very intuitive. The main subject matter of his personal art pieces is animals with his interest in them coming from traditional teachings and through learning about the gifts they can bring a person.” – AGA Brochure

Lonigan Gilbert

“Gilbert views his art work/practice as an outlet for himself and what he strives for is honesty in his work. What he sees around himself and political and social values and dynamics of people are the sources of inspiration for his art and while his work can deal with some very heavy subjects, he is not trying to dictate interpretations or tastes. Rather, he leaves it up to the viewer to arrive at their own interpretations” – AGA Brochure
