Discover the Beauty of Art and Culture AT OUR INDIGENOUS PEI STORE.
In 2023 the Indigenous PEI Store debuted in Charlottetown at 111B Grafton and as a seasonal pop-up at the Charlottetown Mistletoe Market. Work is ongoing as we prepare to open for 2024 in a new location with the same look and feel that visitors love. The new storefront will continue to showcase our rich culture and allow visitors to discover a diverse array of artworks crafted by our talented Indigenous maker community.
More than just a store, the Indigenous PEI Shop is a space to get curious and gain an understanding of the stories that underpin each piece of art. Who made it? How was it made? How does it represent their cultural heritage and creative inspirations?
This innate curiosity often leads to conversations about reconciliation. We embrace these moments, recognizing that through open dialogue, we pave the way for understanding and mutual respect. Every interaction becomes an opportunity to learn and grow together.
Products from leatherworks to jewellery, apparel, wall hangings, beadwork, baskets, pottery, books, and plenty are still available online:

AN Immersive Cultural Experience – Continuing in 2024
Beyond the exquisite artworks on display, our Indigenous PEI storefront offers an inviting space for small events and demonstrations. Here, elders and artisans can engage with our customers, sharing their knowledge and wisdom. We believe that fostering these connections is vital in preserving and celebrating Indigenous culture.
As we prepare for our new home, we plan to hold small events and demonstrations in partner locations. Keep an eye on our festival and events section and social media channels to stay up-to-date on what’s happening at Indigenous PEI.
Join us as we create an inclusive space for all, embracing the spirit of reconciliation and cherishing the stories woven into each piece of art.
Stay Tuned for In-Store Experiences, Events, and Demonstrations!
