Charity Bentwood Box Silent Auction

To December 7 at the Lattimer Gallery in the Museum of Vancouver

Indigenous artists transform blank cedar boxes into one-of-a-kind masterpieces. Talents taking part this year include Corrine Hunt, KC Hall, and Roger Smith. Gitxsan artist Michelle Stoney, who recently won the Fulmer Award in B.C. First Nations Art, created a box called Octopus and Raven. You can bid on the boxes at the gallery’s website until the show night; proceeds go to the Urban Native Youth Association.
