Shoot the Breeze Opening Reception | Marcy Friesen

Shoot the Breeze: Marcy Friesen

October 16 – January 10, 2026

Opening Reception: Saturday, October 25 · 1:30PM

The Mann Art Gallery is proud to present Shoot the Breeze, a solo exhibition by artist Marcy Friesen.

Marcy Friesen’s artwork is an extension of her life: she beads to share memories, to laugh, to heal, and to reflect friendships and family bonds. Shoot the Breeze is her latest body of work, showcasing her expansive practice of personal expression through beading. From sentimental stories steeped in her heart to the seemingly banal objects she finds around the house, Marcy's witty yet thoughtful transformations—through beading, sewing, installation, and photography—invite us into a vibrant worldview shaped by possibility, openness, and kindness.

The opening reception on Saturday, October 25 at 1:30PM will feature a conversation between Marcy Friesen and Ruth Cuthand, offering an engaging dialogue about creativity, storytelling, and the power of contemporary Indigenous art.
