GALLERY | GIINAWIND CREATIVE SPACE
The Giinawind Creative Space at MacRostie Art Center is a gathering place for the creative community, an opportunity for cultural connections, and a catalyst for community development through the arts.
Giinawind is an Ojibwemowin inclusive pronoun that means we/us and. It was chosen for the name of this program because it reflects the vision for a space that centers Indigenous art and artists while welcoming the whole community.

Nancy Kingbird (Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe) started beading when she was 10 years old. In the decades since, she has become well recognized in the region’s Indigenous community for her mastery of the art form. Her style, techniques and use of materials are distinct, and her work can be found in many private collections.
