Neqotkuk has been working hard over the past couple years building Neqotkuk Art Studio, a creative destination within the community. The building is unique in purpose and in the design with a unique round construction finished with a custom hand carved red cedar door. Once complete, artists will have a studio to create art, sell art and share their creativity through the Art gallery.
Neqotkuk Art Studio is expecting to have its grand opening in late July. If you can’t make the grand opening, NAS will have a website and social media links for you to follow. Stay tuned and make sure you come visit their new home for creativity.
Where is this and when will it be completed ?
