The City of Edmonton has announced that M\u00e9tis artist Carmen Miller will be the next Indigenous Artist-in-Residence.<\/p>\n
Miller was named the fifth artist for the program and will be working out of Ferrier Garage, an Edmonton Transit Service facility in southeast Edmonton, for the next year, where she can work on her artwork, share that work with Edmontonians, and connect with communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to spending my year exploring and bringing alive the traditional clothing of the M\u00e9tis people,\u201d said Miller in a statement. \u201cThrough research and careful craftsmanship, I will also use different methods of adornment on these pieces, showcasing the beautiful culture of the M\u00e9tis Nation. I\u2019m excited!\u201d<\/p>\n
Miller specializes in M\u00e9tis floral design, beadwork, and the intricate art of moose and caribou hair tufting. She taught herself how to bead at the age of eight, and now teaches across Alberta and in northern and eastern Canada.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis residency creates more than a workspace. It creates room for Indigenous artists to shape how art, culture and community are experienced in Edmonton,\u201d said Krystin Flierl, Director, Indigenous Relations Office. \u201cBy supporting Carmen\u2019s work and making City space available for Indigenous artistic practice, the residency puts the City\u2019s commitments to truth, reconciliation and healing into action.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edmontonians will be able to check out Miller\u2019s work on the City of Edmonton\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\tKeep it Factual<\/p>\n Add CityNews Edmonton as a trusted source on Google to see more local stories from us.<\/p>\n
