Gallery 101 is honoured to work in partnership with the Open Sky Creative Society (OSCS) to present Aurora Boreawesomer. The OSCS is based in Fort Simpson (Liidlii Kue) in the Dehcho, a multicultural region composed of a dozen or so villages and Aboriginal settlements located in Canada’s Northwest Territories.

This exhibition focuses on respect for traditions while taking into account current cultural realities. Curator Lynn Canney works to perpetuate and encourage the culture and arts of the Dehcho region, presenting works from emerging to established artists, and from contemporary visual art to traditional Dene craft.

Artists: Nicole Bauberger, Charles Blyth, Michael Blyth, Marcel Cholo-Loche, Celine Edda, Georgina Fabien, Wilfred Joey Kline, Nathalie Lavoie, Tonya Makletzoff, Louisa Moreau, D'Arcy J. Moses, Melaw Nakehk'o, Mary Neyelle, Pheobe Punch, Joseph Purcell, John Sabourin, Mary Louise Sanguez, Lucy Simon, Marion Storm, Hilda Tsetso and Julia Tsetso
