This past week the University of Lethbridge celebrated Indigenous Awareness Week. A time of cultural celebration and information. We held a Beading Workshop hosted by the University of Lethbridge Art Gallery. It was a fun time, both experienced and novice beaders created some beautiful designs side by side. The workshop was taught by Melissa Shouting, and assisted by Chataya Holy Singer and Kale Fox-Zacharias.

Unfortunately, this exhibition has been cancelled to due to the COVID 19 pandemic. We hope to do some iteration of it in the future when the University is open to the public. We would like to thank the Studio students for all their hard work on their art projects, your effort has not gone unnoticed.
