Red Dress Day began in 2010 as the REDress project, initiated by Métis artist Jamie Black. The project brings awareness to the ongoing tragedy of race-based violence across Canada and the United States, which has resulted in thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people.

The REDress Project has since evolved into a national movement. Now, every year on May 5, red dresses are hung in public spaces around the country as a call for justice for the victims and their loved ones. The empty dresses are a visual representation of the pain and loss felt by the families of victims and act as stand-ins for the staggering number of people who have been murdered or go missing each year.

This prestigious event celebrates the achievements and contributions of remarkable individuals who have left an indelible mark on our community. It's an opportunity to pay tribute to their outstanding accomplishments and lasting legacy.

Don't Miss Out! Join us for an afternoon filled with inspiration, admiration, and celebration. Let's come together to honour those who have made a significant impact on our community.

Be a part of history as we commemorate greatness at the 2024 Wall of Fame Induction Ceremony.

Draw inspiration from history at the Lincoln Museum & Cultural Centre! 

Join art therapist Dr. Donna Betts in this unique workshop merging historical artifacts, mindfulness, and artistic expression.

History has a profound impact on our well-being. It serves as a bridge between the past and present, fostering a sense of connection and belonging. After engaging with artifacts from the museum collection, participants will use a variety of art materials and techniques to create artworks inspired by history. 

Enhance your appreciation for history, foster mindfulness and creative expression, and explore a variety of art materials and techniques!

Must be 18+ to participate. Please be advised that the outcomes of this art class may be utilized for research purposes to enhance our understanding of creative processes and artistic expression.
