Copper Maker Gallery

The Copper Maker Gallery in Fort Rupert, in the heart of Kwagu’l territory, features Northwest Coast artwork by artists like owner and Master Carver Calvin Hunt. Calvin is a world-renowned artist from the Kwakwaka’wakw community, passionate about carving totem poles, masks, and drums. His work reflects the unifying symbolism of various animals and legends, which he creates by drawing from the knowledge and teachings of his chiefs, elders, and artists. Guests of the gallery will have the opportunity to experience the rich cultural heritage of the Kwakwaka’wakw people when visiting the gallery, with each piece showcasing the beauty of First Nations art and culture.
