Cultural Arts

Culture Night

This amazing, family-friendly, cultural gathering is the cornerstone of NAYA’s cultural arts programming. Culture Night is a time where families and community members can come together to participate in any number of activities: beading, singing, crafting, intertribal drumming and dancing. Culture Nights also offer workshops, often hands-on, where you can learn all kinds of Indigenous teachings.

Because we understand that people in this urban community come with very different experiences and familiarity with their cultures, this is a very welcoming, non-judgmental, informal gathering for everyone’s—elder, adult, and youth alike—enrichment.

Culture Night occurs during the school year on most month’s first and third Wednesdays from 6:00 – 8:00 PM, with holidays and school closures observed. Dinner will be available from 6:00 – 6:30pm and sessions will run from 6:30 – 8:00 PM. Pre-registration is required for all Culture Nights.
