Established in the summer of 2018, The Downie Wenjack Legacy Space at the Kariton Art Gallery will feature an ongoing rotation of local Indigenous art and serve as an open community gathering space.
The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund Legacy Space project is an opportunity for schools, businesses, restaurants and the corporate sector to answer Gord Downie’s call to action for reconciliation, “Do something.” and to help the Downie Wenjack Fund to support further ReconciliACTION in Canada.
A Legacy Space within an organization is dedicated to reconciliation and showcases an organization’s commitment to our collective reconciliation journey. It is meant to be a space where conversations about reconciliation are encouraged and serves as a constant reminder for employees, clients and guests of your organization’s commitment to reconciliation. If you have any questions or concerns about our process and how we utilize our Legacy Space, please refer to our DWLS Policy here.

KIJIKATIG – A Renewal
In person & Online
November 4 – December 22, 2023
The Downie Wenjack Legacy Space at the Kariton Gallery is pleased to announce its newest exhibition – KIJIKATIG by David J. Robinson.
Artist Statement:
The growth rings on a tree are a record of resilience to the environmental events it has experienced. The sculptures in the KIJIKATIG collection illustrate a unique record of the transformative changes of renewal and preservation of knowledge in both the tree and human experience through carving. Each sculpture holds the stories of Indigenous student resilience, hope, renewal, and preservation of knowledge.
