More information
The Foundation seeks to deepen appreciation of Northwest Coast Aboriginal art and work in partnership with the Haida, hosts Coast Salish Nations, and Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal cultural and educational institutions. The Bill & Martine Reid Collection was donated to the Bill Reid Foundation on November 1, 2002 by Martine Reid. This gift was made possible through the generous support of the Government of Canada (Canadian Heritage and Western Economic Development) and numerous individuals, foundations and corporations. In addition to securing the Collection and creating a permanent home for it in the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art, the Foundation is involved in supporting other projects that will preserve and perpetuate Bill Reid’s legacies, including concerts, auctions, exhibitions, a teaching centre and university award.
