Indigenous Cultural Fair

This annual event is a primary fundraiser for Art for Aid that sees Indigenous culture celebrated and embraced in the town of Carleton Place. Hosted by Zion Memorial United Church and the Carleton Place Public Library, this well supported event brings authentic Indigenous artists and makers together, along with a host of activities and workshops for all ages that invite cultural education and exploration while supporting and promoting the Art for Aid program. Art for Aid is a grassroots project created by local Indigenous artist Colleen Gray. The program sees art supplies collected and shipped from Carleton Place to remote Indigenous schools and art programs across the country from September to May annually. This is an event not to be missed!
