Culture, community, and heritage. These terms and concepts have been used to differentiate the many different civilizations of the Western Hemisphere to recognize, and distinguish, one from another. Indigenous civilizations, for generations upon generations, have developed and perpetuated their distinctive designs and motifs which they can rightfully claim as their heritage. 

Human creative expression has taken a multitude of forms and media. From the earliest evidence of petroglyphs and pictographs, to exquisite realism, and now, digital art, human creativity and imagination have continued to erase the boundaries of what constitutes ‘art’. Yet, the fundamental message art portrays is that ‘art’ is a visual story. The story is the principle premise. 

Our Indigenous Cultural Arts Festival incorporates the storytelling premise through digital, film, dance, and music for performers and producers to be stewards of the Indigenous narrative, to celebrate and proclaim their unique interpretation of culture, community, and heritage.
