Opening Reception: In Their Footsteps

In Their Footsteps is an exhibition curated by Bill and Michelle Tracy based on a selection of footwear, emphasizing on the diversity, innovation and creativity of artistic expression found in the strong traditions of the Dené, Cree and Métis people of Western Canada.

The moccasins, leggings, slippers, boots and mukluks come from the extensive Tracy collection and the Scott Robertson collection, as well as the Musée Héritage Museum’s own collection. Established by his father in 1967, Scott Robertson now runs the Robertson Trading Company in La Ronge, Saskatchewan. T. Alex Robertson opened the business as a fur trading post and the family has since acquired numerous spectacular and unique items from the local bead and leather artists.

This is the second time Bill and Michelle are guest curating at the Musée Héritage Museum following the success of their 2015 exhibition, Wuskwiy, Waskway: From Berry Baskets to Souvenirs.

In Their Footsteps promises colour and inspiration featuring several well-known makers and their stories. The work will span over several generations of craft, including selected contemporary examples.

RSVP by email museum@artsandheritage.ca or phone 780-459-1528 by August 18.
