Bentwood Box Auction 2020

December 1, 2020

Lattimer Gallery is once again partnering with Indigenous artists from across BC to raise money for UNYA’s current programming, as well as contributing to making our planned Native Youth Centre a reality. These funds go to some of our most underfunded programs, ensuring that we are able to continue providing opportunities and support to Indigenous youth here in Metro Vancouver.

 

All of the work in the creation of these small cedar boxes is donated: the boxes are steam-bent and constructed by Métis/Cree artist James Michels; the promotion and collected funds is donated by Lattimer Gallery; and all the artwork is donated by the artists. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Urban Native Youth Association.

This annual charity auction supports some of our most underfunded programs, ensuring that we are able to continue providing opportunities and support to Indigenous youth!
