A gift of culture: Mi’kmaq art finds new home at Dalhousie

Eight vibrant paintings by Mi’kmaq artist Alan Syliboy now grace the halls of Dalhousie’s Weldon Law Building thanks to a donation by alum Allan Silverman. The gift, facilitated through the Dalhousie Art Gallery, aims to celebrate Indigenous heritage and expand public access to underrepresented voices in Canadian art.
