Artist Studio Tour #1

Xwa lack tun graciously opened his CREATIVE JOURNEY STUDIO at 169 Whonoak Road (off Welch Street), West Vancouver on February 10 to the public. Visitors enjoyed the opportunity to meet the artist and see his place of work. Raven Jacobs and Shayla Jacobs were the perfect Squamish Nation student ambassadors to conduct the studio tours and provide visitors with information on Xwa lack tun's past and current projects.
