You can find our stores on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen, W̱SÁNEĆ, Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.

Artina’s Jewellery recognizes that colonization, policies, and institutions have significantly changed Indigenous Peoples’ relationships with galleries. For many years, colonial ideologies upheld by museums were used to exclude Indigenous artists, their work, and their voices.

Today we acknowledge that in order to challenge the colonial lens that’s restricted Indigenous artists throughout history, we must represent Indigenous art mindfully. Artina’s wishes to act as a gallery featuring various artists from all across Canada.

Our mission is to share, respect, and better appreciate Indigenous art.
