Transforming Spaces
With Indigenous Art & Décor
We transform event spaces into immersive art experiences that celebrate Indigenous culture and storytelling. From meetings and consultations to conferences and galas, we enhance gatherings with culturally grounded art and visually impactful décor.
Art and Experience Services
Art Integration
We collaborate with Indigenous artists from Coast Salish Nations and across BC to create experiences that highlight art as a source of culture, storytelling, and connection. Whether drawing from existing collections or introducing newly created works, each piece carries stories that ground your event in culture and meaning.
Curatorial
Every project begins with listening. We curate artwork and cultural elements that honour Coast Salish voices and traditions while aligning with your vision. This is more than decoration. It is cultural stewardship, ensuring that what you share is authentic, respectful, and resonant.
Immersive Events
We transform spaces into cultural experiences, setting the right tone for any gathering. We help you incorporate Indigenous art, design, and meaningful elements while keeping your event inclusive and respectful.
Collaborations with Artists
We see our role as more than curators. We are collaborators who support Coast Salish artists and Indigenous creatives, ensuring their voices are central. Whether through exhibitions, installations, or even new commissions, each project is an opportunity to celebrate artists, invest in their work, and create pathways for their practices to thrive.
Commitments & Credentials
Our Approach
Every project begins with listening, but it is shaped by experience. With decades of work across exhibitions, events, and cultural initiatives, we bring the knowledge needed to guide projects with vision and care.
Our commitment is twofold: to support Indigenous culture and artists, and to ensure clients share in experiences that are both visually impactful and culturally grounded. Each curated presentation is a chance to celebrate individual artists while contributing to the vitality of a thriving Indigenous artform.
The result is more than an event. It is a meaningful collaboration that honours culture, uplifts artists, and creates lasting connection for everyone involved.

Artists We Work With
Mahatta Price
Mahatta Price
Mahatta Price grew up in the Comox Valley and is a member of K’ómoks First Nation. She first had the opportunity to weave a basket and cedar hat under the mentorship of Toni Frank. After a few years of weaving, Price began apprenticing under Pamela Mitchell. With Mitchell’s guidance, she learned to weave a wool and cedar cape, which took her months to complete.
Even at a young age Price has already worked with cedar bark for more than half her life. Her interest started when she was young, and her mom took her and her twin sister to a workshop on making cedar bracelets and headbands.
Since then, weaving has become a part of Price’s life. “I’ve always been artsy,” she says. From a young age, she loved to draw and paint; weaving became another way to express herself artistically. Now, she studies Metal Jewellery Design at North Island College on weekdays, and spends time most weekends weaving hats, headbands, baskets, mats, earrings, hearts, and roses from cedar
