Welcome

The Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art is pleased to offer these digital educational resources to engage with students of all ages.

With an emphasis on Indigenous art and culture in the Northwest Coast, these original videos and support materials can be used by educators and students to encourage discussion around cultural traditions and contemporary issues. All the materials have been designed to fit BC curriculum and class needs.

The Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art is located in Vancouver, BC on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. We truly appreciate being able to live and work on these beautiful lands. 

How do you acknowledge the traditional territories where you live and work? Find out more at here.

About the Bill Reid Gallery

The Bill Reid Gallery is the only public Gallery in Canada dedicated to contemporary Indigenous Northwest Coast Art. It was established by the Bill Reid Foundation in 2008, to celebrate the Haida master artist Bill Reid (1920 - 1998), and the diverse living cultures of the Northwest Coast.

The Gallery honours Bill Reid by exhibiting the Bill Reid SFU Art Collection, and presenting special exhibitions and programs that build bridges between all peoples, including Indigenous and settler populations. Our mandate is to promote a greater awareness of Indigenous cultures and values.
