Key City Theatre is proud to announce the third annual Art Exhibit featuring the incredible works of local First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists.

This year’s exhibit, in honor of Truth and Reconciliation, is an inclusive celebration of diverse artistic expressions, open to artists of all abilities and backgrounds. The exhibit will showcase a wide range of mediums, including beadwork, painting, photography, and video installations.

The exhibit opened to the public September 16 and runs through October 25 at the Key City Theatre Gallery.

To celebrate this significant event, an artist reception will be held on October 1 at 6:30 p.m. This reception offers a unique opportunity to meet the artists, hear their stories, and gain insight into the inspirations behind their powerful works.

Following the artist reception, Key City Theatre is thrilled to present a special screening of the musical film Les Filles Du Roi by Urban Ink. This ground-breaking film comes from the same talented team that brought us Children of God.

Les Filles du Roi (The King’s Daughters) is the powerful story of a young girl, Kateri and her brother Jean-Baptiste whose lives are disrupted upon the arrival of les filles du roi in ‘New France’ (now Montreal) in 1665. They forge an unlikely relationship with the young fille Marie-Jeanne Lespérance – whose dream of a new life is more complicated than she could have imagined. Over the course of a year, Mohawk, French and English journeys collide, setting the stage for the Canada we know today.

The Key City Theatre Gallery is committed to creating an inclusive space where all voices are heard and celebrated. This exhibit is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic diversity of our local First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities.
