Joining us for a super special 1 hour workshop showcasing the making of a traditional rawhide rattle and leather keepsake purse is Medicine Hats very own cultural connector, Brenda Mercer.

Brenda has had an incredible year with her artistic practice that even includes some of her beautiful art pieces now being secured by the travelling TREX art exhibit that will showcase her works around the province for the upcoming year.
Brenda can always be found with a smile on her face and an open heart that is always willing to help!

Following Brenda is local rising start Ray-Al Hochman.

‍
Ray-Al has really been making a presence in Medicine Hat over the past year with his phenomenal song writing, and has also joined forces with other local artists to form their band, Cannonball Knights.

Ray-al has been playing for a number of years now and is really beginning to find his grove and maturity in both his writing as well as musicianship. This is a young artist you should definitely keep your ears on!
