About

In spring of 2021, Leah decided to start a mentorship with local Métis artist and visual arts educator, Ashley Smith. This apprentice and mentor relationship gave Leah the opportunity to transfer cultural and artistic knowledge within the community. Leah and Danielle created a 3-part series of temporary public art installations in the city of Prince Albert. The intent was to create highly visible, accessible, and educational contemporary Indigenous (Métis) art in public spaces in the city, celebrating the Métis culture and teaching youth and emerging artists values and techniques. Leah worked closely with Ashley, and taught her how to plan, produce, install, and implement interactive public art installations.
