The exhibition Contemporary Canadian Indian Art is a survey of Indian art and craft created in Canada in the last few years. Examples from the contemporary-traditional culture include masks and wood-carvings while modern-western inspired art is represented in paintings and sculptures. The paintings in particular exemplify the merging of the traditional with the contemporary culture to produce a wholly new artistic expression.
