Join us to talk about the history and legacy of Akaitcho Hall.
The NWT Art Centre Initiative has evaluated a number of potential sites for the location of a new Art Centre, with the Old Akaitcho Hall site, next to Sir John High School in Yellowknife, as the preferred location. The NWTACI invites community members to explore the history and legacy of Akaitcho Hall, and discuss ways to honour the experiences of former students in the future art centre.
