Bridging Our Future, an art exhibit celebrating the Niagara community coming together, is on display now until Jan. 12 on the third floor at City Hall.
 
More than 200 people helped create this mobile mural during the 2017 Pow Wow in October at Montebello Park. The mural is made up of five canvases designed to be displayed together. It explores a vision emerging from First Nations culture, as well as new connections and friendships, between Native and non-Native peoples.
 
The exhibit reception is set for Thursday Jan. 11 at 4 p.m. on the third floor of City Hall, near Council Chambers. All are welcome to attend
 
The City is pleased to host this collaborative project from the Niagara Regional Native Centre and Seedling for Change in Society & Environment.
