Artist Ambassador Workshop for Indigenous History Month!

This contest is now closed. Winners will be announced in the coming weeks!

Want to have your class learn to paint a beautiful original painting while learning about Anishinaabe culture? Or perhaps you’d like to undertake a beading project with youth while learning about treaties or language. Or maybe your students/youth are interested in making bracelets using seal skin and learning about traditional hunting practices. Wherever your interest lies, we have a workshop for you! 

The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF) is offering 20 free Artist Ambassador Workshops to 20 Legacy Schools groups throughout Canada.  

Who can participate: All applicants must be registered in the Legacy Schools to be selected. Sign up here to be a Legacy School and learn more about the benefits of joining this free program. We will be selecting at least one class in every province and territory to participate. Workshops will be adjusted based on group age range.  

What: Artist workshops will be led virtually or in-person by a participating Artist Ambassador and will be 1-2 hours long. All supplies will be shipped ahead of the agreed upon time slot.   

When: Artist Ambassador Workshops will take place between May 15 and June 30, 2022. Workshops will be scheduled based on group and artist availability and we cannot guarantee which workshop you will receive.  

How: Complete this form and explain how the Legacy Schools Program has created a big change in the youth you work with. 

Applications close: April 21, 2023

Selected schools will be notified no later than April 28, 2023.  

*Groups/classes chosen must provide media waivers for any students appearing in photos or video. We hope to share the students’ experiences with DWF followers to inspire reconciliACTION.
