Land Acknowledgement

Wonder’neath’s work is based in Mi'kma'ki, on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources but recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) titles and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. We, as treaty people, are responsible for upholding the fundamental rights of the Mi’kmaq as promised in the Peace and Friendship Treaties. We aim to listen to Indigenous voices and actively participate in the reconciliation process. We acknowledge African Nova Scotians as a distinct people whose significant cultural, historic, and artistic contributions have shaped the communities in which we work for over 400 years.

The Forever Home Art and Experience Auction is Wonder'neath's most important annual fundraiser to help sustain our core community art programs, including Open Studio, an accessible and inclusive hands on artmaking space that fosters a world of creative possibilities, connections, and hope!

This year the auction includes 160+ artworks and experiences to inspire our imagination, as well as beautifully designed offerings from local businesses. Enjoy browsing and get ready to place your bids on Saturday, May 2! Bidding closes on Saturday, May 9, at 9 pm!

This year's forever home will once again take place online. We have several viewing sessions planned at Wonder'neath:
Sunday May 3, 2-6 pm;
Friday and Saturday, May 8th and 9th during Open Studio hours, 2-4 30 and 5-7 pm
If those times do not work please reach out to donate@wonderneath.com for information or to schedule a viewing.

This event is made possible thanks to the generosity of local, national, and internationally recognized artists who are part of our Wonder'neath community
