Cultural Sharing
CARVING DEMONSTRATION
Tuesday October 22, 9am – 4pm
Aboriginal Front Door, 384 Main
Anywhere you wander in the Downtown Eastside, you will see artists carving wood, bone, stone or who knows what. In recognition of the importance of carving in our community, the Front Door is hosting a day-long demonstration with carvers who are residents of the Downtown Eastside. Stop by to talk and see what they’re up to. Carvers include Ralph E Hill, Stanley Paul and more to be confirmed. This is a day-long event and the carvers will come and go. If the weather’s nice, the carvers will be outside. Please note: from 1-3pm, men-only inside the Front Door. Other times of the day: Everyone Is Welcome! Free
This event was on a Pre-Festival Day of the 12 Days of the Heart of the City Festival. Please check the website for more events!
