Featured in our Winter 2013 Newsletter is the Lattimer Gallery Annual Charity Bentwood Box Event. At Lattimer Gallery, the past six holiday seasons have begun with an exciting Charity Bentwood Box silent auction, with each year’s donations surpassing the last. What begins as a blank cedar bentwood box is transformed into a beautiful work of art, all in the name of charity. To date, Lattimer Gallery has raised a total of $67,920 for Aboriginal organizations through this one event. Artists for 2013 include Phil Gray (Cree/Tsimshian), Shawn Hunt (Heiltsuk), and Nathan Wilson (Haisla).

We have also included some information on a new piece to the gallery, The Salmon People cedar panel by Heiltsuk artist Bradley Hunt.
