Where to find us
WE GOT A SPACE!
You can now find us at 1314 Douglas Street! It’s street level and wheelchair accessible. We’re super excited to finally have our own place where we can connect face-to-face with folks.
To help prevent COVID we encourage everyone to wear a mask if they can, and practice physical distancing. We have masks and hand sanitizer on-site.
Landline – 250-388-0232
When We’re Open
Monday – Friday Art Studio: Indigenous-only space, priority for Indigenous “street community” members who are criminalized for drug or alcohol use. You do NOT have to be sober. These days & hours include access to the art studio space, art supplies, and an art helper / mentor who can help you with art questions.
- 10 am – 4 pm Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays (closed Wednesdays)
- 10 am – 7 pm Fridays – includes frybread at 3 pm!
Weekends: Studio + gallery. During these times the studio is still open so you can still work on your art if you want, but it’s also open gallery time where the general public can come check out art that’s available for sale, so it’s not Indigenous-only space. At this point there are no art helpers / mentors on the weekends.
- 11 am – 4 pm Saturdays
- 11 am – 4 pm Sundays
Circles, workshops, groups, and other events!
Now that COVID regulations are scaled back we’re starting to hold circles, workshops, and groups for Indigenous people. Upcoming events are listed in the calendar below. COVID safety measures are in effect including masks available at the door for people who can wear them. No pre-registration, just come if you can. Each circle / workshop / group is limited to 10 people and priority is for people who use substances (if you want a spot saved, please talk with us ahead of time). You do NOT have to be sober.
