Skeena Salmon Arts Festival Society unveils 2023 logo by Indigenous artist Randi Ball
The Skeena Salmon Arts Festival Society unveiled its official logo for the 2023 Skeena Salmon Art Shows on Tuesday . Created by Tahltan/Tłingit artist Randi Ball, the logo showcases the representation of a salmon, an animal that holds significant cultural and spiritual meaning for Indigenous people.
The logo was not initially created specifically for the shows. Instead, the Skeena Salmon Arts Festival Society discovered Ball’s work during a gallery show at the Terrace Art Gallery. The original piece was acrylic paining on a birch panel, with the subject matter representing Ball’s late uncle, who they called “salmon boy”.The salmon is a critical symbol for Indigenous people, representing a lifeline that keeps culture going.
“I hope that, as an artist and Indigenous person, I can inspire other young people,” Ball said. They believe that art can be a powerful tool for teaching and sharing stories, particularly for younger generations who learn visually.
