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.
