Make Day! Medicine is All Around Us

The history of a culture can be found within the language. Learn the Mi’kmaw names for some of the plant medicines or edible plants you walk by daily in Kjipuktuk (the Mi’kmaw name for Halifax)! 

Explore a family-friendly block-printmaking experience about plants and bind your own mini journal to take with you on your adventures. 

The month of October is Mi’kmaw History. This year’s theme celebrates food and its significance in Mi’kmaw culture. 

Work independently, or with your small group, this program is great for children ages 5+ with an adult. Drop-in, included with the price of admission.

About the program:

Make Day is a studio program for emerging artists of all ages! Designed as an intergenerational art workshop, these sessions lead participants in a short art lesson that introduces an art technique or process, resulting in a fun art piece you can take home. A great way to get connected, inspired, and creative with friends or family. Each month’s activity is inspired by works in an exhibition currently on view.
