Events Description
Celebrate the beauty of Indigenous culture with an event filled with beading, sharing knowledge, laughter, and community connection.
Join us for a fundraising Bead-a-Thon on Sunday June 22, hosted by esteemed Cree-Métis beadwork artist Cynthia Boehm, and Manitoba Museum’s Head of Indigenous Programming & Engagement, Tashina Houle-Gaywish. Taking place in Alloway Hall from 10 am to 3 pm, the day will include mini ‘learn to stitch’ tutorials, pop-up visits from our stunning historical beadwork collection, and most importantly, time with community to share, learn, and bead.
Whether you’re an expert beader, a keen learner, or have never held a needle, this exciting fundraising event welcomes all to share in the joy of beadwork.
Everyone is invited to showcase their work at our “Artist Open Mic” or display it at a designated sell & trade table. Attendees can purchase food from vendors throughout the day, and/or are welcome to bring their own lunches and snacks.
Tickets are on sale now – a ‘pay what you can afford’ scale is available, and a 50/50 draw will close out the day!
This fundraising Bead-a-thon will support the Manitoba Museum’s Access for All program – supporting our wide array of community initiatives including free admission on First Fridays, subsidized supplies and workshop fees for our Indigenous art workshop series, and complimentary field trips for children from every corner of Manitoba.
