Join us to hear Joseph Sanchez talk about the spirituality and creativity of the Professional Native Indian Artists Inc (PNIA) and their impact on Canadian Art. The PNIA is an art collective of Indigenous artists that came together in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1973. Formed by Daphne Odjig, Alex Janvier, Norval Morriseau, Jackson Beardy, Eddy Cobiness, Carl Ray, and Joseph M. Sanchez, this group of artists united to break down boundaries and opened a door to understanding and accepting the art created by the Indigenous people of Canada. Joseph will also talk about Norval Morriseau’s paintings created while he was in Jasper in the 1980’s.
