THUNDER BAY – Students at Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School say the chance to showcase their work alongside renowned artists like Goyce Kakegamic and Carl Beam in a new exhibit at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery has fired up their creative ambitions.
The resulting show mixes work by some of the country’s most celebrated Indigenous artists with that of emerging youth talent, and it’s not necessarily obvious at first glance which is which. “It’s a huge confidence boost to see your art hanging on these walls,” he said. “It just kind of opens up that idea that, ‘Holy smokes, I can do this – I can get people to see my art and create something people want to see.’”
Ekota Quill, a Grade 12 student from Sachigo Lake First Nation, said the exhibit had stoked a passion for arts and crafts she’s held since childhood. The chance to have the tikinagan displayed and recognized in a supportive environment was deeply impactful, she said, referring to the exhibit’s opening on Thusrday.
“It’s kind of weird, in a really good way,” she said. “The anonymity of it was great – I’d be standing around seeing people I don’t know… looking at my work. I think the greatest part of it was they were looking at it because they wanted to, and not because they knew I was standing there.
