Come create clay beads, a collage, and make your mark on a growing collaborative blanket with artist Alanna Irene Edwards as we celebrate the closing of her where I’m from from exhibition and residency at the DLG.

Enjoy artmaking activities as well as a backyard all-ages comedy performance staged by the Burnaby Summer Theatre Program on both Saturday and Sunday, July 13th and 14th. Saturday afternoon also includes a come-and-go closing reception for where I’m from from with refreshments provided.

All are welcome to attend. At this year’s Summer Festival, park-goers, gallery guests, and workshop attendees can redress place and notions about home through an indigenous lens. And don’t forget to check out the
City of Burnaby’s Symphony in the Park and Opera in the Park ongoing next door at the Deer Lake Park Festival Lawn.
