After a busy, successful, first summer season we have entered
the season of the falling leaves: k̓upaquǂaqpiʔk!

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Lots of soaking up of arts and culture in Europe is happening!

The art gallery is closed through November 15th for an overseas family visit. While in Europe, it is impossible to not visit any of the amazing museums and art galleries. The buildings alone are often fascinating and the quality (and quantity!) of artworks is incredible. Here a a few highlights so far.
