Drum Auction

 

In 2015, YVRAF held a special fundraising event featuring 18 elk-hide drums with unique designs from BC and Yukon First Nations artists. The drums were auctioned off to YVRAF supporters from across the globe and all funds raised through the Drum Auction went to supporting YVRAF and the scholarship and funding opportunities for BC and Yukon First Nations artists.

Participating artists include Sonny Assu, Stan Bevan, Dempsey Bob, Brenda Crabtree, Reg Davidson, Dean Heron, Eugene Hunt, Laura Wee Lay Laq, Chazz Mack, Latham Mack, Ken McNeil, Edwin Neel, Arlene Ness, Luke Parnell, Tamara Skubovious, Connie Watts, Xwalacktun (Rick Harry) and Beau Dick.

YVR Art Foundation acknowledges that its offices are located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. The Foundation’s work and outreach spans the territories of many Nations throughout what is now known as British Columbia and the Yukon, and our programs exist for the purpose of supporting BC and Yukon First Nations artists with grants, awards, exhibitions and research opportunities. We honour with gratitude the Nations who have cared for the lands on which we work, reside and visit, and who have stewarded them since time immemorial.
