Celebrate an Evening of First Nations Art, Culture and Community 

Some evenings stay with you long after they’ve ended, and the Polygon Award in First Nations Art celebration is one of them. 

On Tuesday, November 24, we invite you to join us at The Roundhouse in Vancouver for an evening that brings together artists, families, friends, collectors, supporters and community members to celebrate this year’s recipients of the Polygon Award in First Nations Art. Purchase your tickets here.

For $150, your ticket includes dinner and an opportunity to experience the incredible artistry and stories of the award recipients in an atmosphere grounded in cultural respect, tradition and celebration. 

The evening begins with time to wander through an exhibition of the recipients’ work, reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones. During the celebration, you’ll experience the premiere of beautifully produced short films that introduce each artist and offer a glimpse into their creative journey, inspiration and connection to culture. Over dinner, we’ll honour the recipients whose work continues to strengthen, preserve and reimagine First Nations artistic traditions for future generations. 

One of the most memorable parts of the evening is the sense of community in the room. Artists, Elders, supporters, partners and guests from across the province come together not only to celebrate extraordinary achievements, but also to recognize the important role that First Nations art plays in sharing stories, building understanding and strengthening culture. 

Whether you’ve attended before or are joining us for the first time, we hope you’ll be part of this special gathering.
