The Art of Visiting – National Indigenous Presenters Gathering 2025

Art of Visiting Webpage Banner

We invited Indigenous and Treaty-partner (non-Indigenous) presenters, artists, agents, and arts sector representatives from across the country to gather with us on Wolfe Island and Katarokwi/ Kingston, Ontario (Eastern Ontario) for a time of connection, learning, and celebration.

Our focus for the event was to be on the land to enjoy the spectacular colours of harvest season and build a relational exchange of knowledge and creativity rooted in respectful reciprocity.

Over three days we enjoyed meaningful conversations, powerful performances, shared meals, and moments of reflection on the land and water.
