Duncan: Museum-quality Native art featured downtown
The arts council’s first exhibit of all-Native work opens Thursday in downtown Duncan.
“Part of our mandate is inclusive of Native art,” said Jeffrey Birkin of the Cowichan Valley Arts Council.
He’s tanked up about some three-dozen multi-media pieces being displayed under heavy security in CVAC’s storefront gallery on Station Street.
The exhibit dubbed Aboriginal Arts Aware will boast Coast Salish creations and some other styles from the valley’s Marston family — including carvers Luke, John and mom Jane — Cowichan’s late master-carver Simon Charlie, talking- and power-stick maker John Harry, and noted wood sculptor Rod Modeste.
