January Meeting: Jason Baerg, Cree-Metis Fashion Designer & Fine Artist

 

Join us on Zoom for a very special meeting! 

This month only, our date has been changed to a Thursday so that we can partner up with the Ottawa Garment Guild to bring you an exciting speaker. 

On Thursday January 8, 7 pm, we will welcome Jason Baerg to a joint Zoom meeting. Jason Baerg is a Cree-Metis artist and fashion designer originally from Saskatchewan. He is currently based in Toronto, where he teaches at OCAD, creates work for exhibitions in his art studio, and runs Ayimach Horizons, his fashion house. His multidisciplinary career is fed by both his Metis heritage and his queer identity. His fashion has been highlighted at many Indigenous Fashion Weeks over the past few years, most recently during NYFW, and at Santa Fe Indian Market. We are thrilled to have him joining us to speak on his fashion house, his collections and what drives his creative expression in textiles. You really don't want to miss this! 

Members will receive an email with the Zoom link prior to the meeting. If you are not a member and would like to join us, please send an email transfer to membershipsgg[at]gmail.com with the $5 drop in fee and your name so that we can send you the link.
