Coastal Bead Collective is dedicated to uplifting Indigenous artists from various territories across Turtle Island and that is how came up with hosting an Indigenous Holiday market. We’ve been fortunate to make friends from many territories and of various mediums in the art world and wanted to help them out in any way we could this holiday season.
With the art world Indigenous artists are finally getting their flowers they’ve deserved for so long for their art work. Precious knowledge passed down surviving generations of colonization to continue to this day to create unique pieces enveloped in cultural teachings, revitalization, and love for their people. This is what we thrive to spread. We also wanted to help the broader urban community this holiday season with non-perishable food donations for a local food bank in Victoria this season. Life is hard, life is expensive, and we wanted to help folks out because everyone could use help now and then. We love our community, culture(s), and the land we live on. Let us all try and make a small difference in the world in any way we can.
Support Indigenous artists, support local, and support your community this holiday season. Amazon won’t notice a sale, but the artists will this holiday season. You could be helping them with bills, rent, or making their Christmas less stressful.
Beadwork, Carving, Silver carved jewelry, Antler and Fur jewelry (sustainably harvested), Knitted items, Apparel, and more!
The Bannock room food truck will also be set up!
We can’t wait to see you there on December 14!
