The Spring Metis Market was held for a second year inside Kingsway Mall for Edmontonian’s to celebrate the Metis Culture while supporting local businesses by purchasing hand-made beaded earrings and moccasins.
Krista Leddy, Metis Artist and Consulting Artist for the Otipemisiwak Metis Government says it’s wonderful to have the relationship with the mall and to be able to showcase the Metis Art and vendors as a community gathering.

Leddy is hopeful that the market helps the community break down stereotypes of the Metis Culture, and for Edmontonian’s to see what the depth of the Metis Culture and what it shows through art and creativity.
