Skwachàys Lodge & Gallery
is Canada’s first Aboriginal Arts Hotel and has
diligently worked to provide guests with first-class services and a
platform to showcase local Indigenous art and culture.
At the street level,
the Urban Aboriginal Fair Trade Gallery features
Indigenous artwork which includes original paintings, framed limited
edition prints, jewelry, pottery, wood carvings, giftware and so
much more, purchasing most of its original work from local artists.
Eighteen one-of-a-kind guest suites designed by
local Indigenous artists and Vancouver interior designers tell
stunning visual stories about First Nations culture and feature
original artwork created by the participating artists.
Skwachàys Lodge Hotel and Gallery is
a social enterprise that provides the funding for 24 living and work
studios for an "Artist in
Residence" program in our building. Owned and operated
by Vancouver Native Housing Society (VNHS), a
non-profit registered charity governed by an all-Indigenous Board of
Directors, Skwachàys Lodge is the CEO David Eddy's innovative
alternative to government funding for social housing.
