Bremner goes on to say that it’s exciting and important that MacEwan gives the space to allow the the Artisan Market to be displayed inside the University for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students can experience.

Bremner hopes that students in MacEwan University walk away with acknowledging and respecting Indigenous Artisans with the hard work that goes into the creations, and seeing each one as artists.
