Heritage Day at the MAG

Jul 26, 2023 | 2:58 PM

Mark your Calendars for an unforgettable Heritage Day event at the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery (MAG).

On Aug. 7, 2023, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., explore the Body Language: Reawakening Cultural Tattooing of the Northwest art exhibit and discover the cultural symbolism of tattoos and design in the traditions of the Haida people. Create your own ‘Tree of Life’ art project and add to our ‘Art Rocks’ in the garden installation.

Plan to watch a Henna Tattoo demonstration by a local artist who will also be creating Henna designs for folks to have, for a small donation. Learn about and compete in old-fashioned games like burlap sack races, three-legged races, and mini tours of the log schoolhouse.

Light refreshments will be served, and an ice cream truck will make its appearance in the heat of the afternoon.

“We aim to create activities for all ages with a focus on heritage and art,” says Lynn LeCorre, Education Coordinator.
