Current Exhibition

Life Ties | Jennine Krauchi & David Heinrichs

29 January – 29 March 2026

Opening reception, Thursday 29 January 2026, 6-9pm, remarks at 7pm. All are welcome.

An exhibition that shares the exquisite beadwork of two extraordinary Métis artists but is also a portrait of their beautiful friendship.

Here’s a lovely interview with David and Jennine with Nadia Kidwai.

Jennine Krauchi and David Heinrichs are two exceptional Métis beading artists at different points in their careers. They have forged a special bond through mentorship and a shared love of their culture. This exhibition is a portrait of their relationship as much as of their individual artworks. The pieces gathered together here speak to the hours spent in one another’s company as well as hours spent alone—making. A process that is so labour- and time-intensive means that many creations are expressions of love or respect for the intended recipient. They might also be thought of as vessels of David and Jennine’s friendship shared during their creation, as well as all those relationships that led to theirs.

Beading Beautiful Blooms

11 am – 2 pm, 24 February 2026, Galerie Buhler Gallery

Come join Jennine and David to bead some beautiful blooms! All levels of beaders are welcome and the artists will be able to support those who are trying beadwork for the first time. Flowers big, small, few, and many can be created with a variety of techniques. Just as a flower arrangement can include many different flowers, so will this art piece!

Jennine and David will assemble the completed flowers into a beaded bouquet of blooms that will be donated to Galerie Buhler Gallery. Supplies and patterns will be provided.
