The first National Indigenous Peoples Gathering

The gathering was held in October 2024 and was a resounding success.

Watch here for upcoming events.

Relearn the art of visiting with fellow Indigenous presenters, artists, agents and producers. Exchange ideas, nourish relationships!

Join us from Monday, October 7, 2024, at 12:00 PM until Thursday, October 10, 2024, at 3:00 PM for three days of connection on Wolfe Island and Katarohkwi/Kingston, Ontario.

We invite Indigenous and Treaty-partner (non-Indigenous) presenters, artists, and agents from across the nation to visit our land and engage in informative panel discussions, interactive workshops, and inspiring performances.

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

The Art of Visiting is free for Indigenous arts sector representatives, and Indigenous Presenters are encouraged to reach out to us to explore financial support for attending. For Treaty Partners, we kindly request a minimum donation of $50 for attendance.

Mark your calendars and get ready for three days of inspiration and discovery at The Art of Visiting on Wolfe Island!

The Art of Visiting is graciously supported by the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Ontario Arts Council, RTO-9 and the Government of Ontario.
