lattimer gallery raises $21,250 for urban native youth association

Vancouver, bc – december 5, 2011: For the past five years, selected
Northwest Coast Native artists have donated their time, materials and
creative efforts for Lattimer Gallery’s Annual Charity Bentwood Box silent
auction. In the process of raising donations for charity, these artists are
given the opportunity to create outstanding pieces by thinking ‘outside the
box’. All of the boxes have first been steam-bent and donated by Métis/Cree
artist James Michels.

 

This year, Lattimer Gallery and its participating artists raised $21,250 for
Urban Native Youth Association, a Vancouver organization which has been
providing 21 prevention-focused programs and services to Native Youth since
1988 to help meet their immediate and longer-term needs. UNYA’s work
includes advocacy, community development, and providing youth with
meaningful opportunities to provide input into their programs and services. 

 

Notable high bids were Robert Davidson’s box at $5,000, Shawn Hunt’s box at
$2,700, and Clint Work’s box at $2,500. 

 

Lattimer Gallery would like to thank all of our customers and participating
artists: Joe Campbell (Coast Salish, Robert Davidson (Haida), Gwaai Edenshaw
(Haida), Phil Gray (Tsimshian/Cree), Bradley Hunt (Heiltsuk), Dean Hunt
(Heiltsuk), Shawn Hunt (Heiltsuk), Sharifah Marsden (Ojibwa), James Michels
(Metis), Aaron Nelson-Moody (Coast Salish), Marie Oldfield (Haida), Ian Reid
(Heiltsuk) Rod Smith (Kwakwaka’wakw), Steve Smith (Kwakwaka’wakw), Ernest
Swanson (Haida), Barry Wilson (Haisla), Laura, Shoshana, Tallulah, Tara and
Tasha Wilson (Hasila) and Clint Work (Kwakwaka’wakw).
