Sarah Rhude and Alysha Brown have a combined 55 years of experience working within Indigenous community and Indigenous-focused departments within the Arts and Culture, Education, Social Development, Administration and Advocacy sectors.

We share our artistic/professional practices both within community and professionally including painting, drum and rattle making, moccasin and leather work, beading, regalia making, designing, sewing, sculpture, multi-media, singing, dance, performance, drumming, theatre and medicine making. We have curated art exhibitions, exhibited multi-media art, and performed in theatres, festivals, community events, conferences, schools and more, on Vancouver Island and beyond. We are educators, social workers, youth workers, administrators, academics, artists, parents, grandparents, and community members. We consult and provide professional development within the aforementioned sectors. Our experience and skills are a testament to our strength in relationship building and the trust we hold within our various and shared communities. We look forward to welcoming you into our Indigenous Art, Culture & Learning Hub!
