“Yagalis Mask” by Tom Hunt
The Arctic Raven Gallery in Friday Harbor is pleased to honor the late Kwagiulth carver Sam “Numasta” Henderson with a presentation of work by some of his descendants. The artist reception begins at 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 17.
The “Legacy of Numasta” will feature renowned artists including Mark Henderson, Tom Hunt, Patrick Hunt, Bert Smith and Cole Speck. These current artists were inspired by the way Numasta preserved the past for future generations. Together they continue to preserve and share Kwakwaka’wakw First Nations traditions and carry forward Sam’s cultural and artistic legacy.
Come meet these artists and share their stories, learn about their cultural history and be inspired by their creations.
