Hailed Haida artist Bill Reid (1920-1998) was known for building bridges between Indigenous and settler people through his work as an artist, broadcaster, and community activist. The gallery was named in his honor, and showcases some of his artwork, as well as contemporary works by other Indigenous artists. Look for the full-scale totem pole carved by James Hart of Haida Gwaii, and a bronze masterpiece called Mythic Messengers, created by Reid himself.
Reid, who died in 1998, is one of Canada's most celebrated artists; his work is on the back of the country's $20 bill. Guided tours and artist workshops are regularly scheduled here; check the website for upcoming tour times.
