DESCRIPTION:Multitudes is a group exhibition featuring work from Sonny Assu\, Chun Hua Catherine Dong\, Deborah Edmeades\, Odera Igbokwe\, Cheyenne Rain LeGrande ᑭᒥᐊᐧᐣ and Tatjana Mirkov-Popovicki.

Light refreshments will be served. This event is free and wheelchair accessible. \nCurated by Anna Luth. Presented with generous support from Sandpiper Signs & Decals Inc.
