NSCAD University has officially opened a new space that will permanently house the Treaty Space Gallery, an artistic gallery that will also serve as NSCAD U’s Indigenous Student Centre. The gallery—which was provisionally hosted at NSCAD U’s Port Campus—provides a place to learn more about Indigenous histories, treaties, and lived experiences. The new Gallery space has more room for programming, exhibitions, and collaborations. Additionally, Indigenous students will be able to relax in the space. “The Indigenous student population at NSCAD is really small and they might be looking for ways to participate in their culture while being in an urban setting,” said Treaty Space Gallery Exhibitions Coordinator Natalie Laurin. “We want to grow into a space where they can look to us for that cultural connection and a place where they can relate to the art being displayed.”
