10th Annual Fine Arts Exhibit, Canadian Aboriginal Festival and Pow Wow
November, 2006, Toronto Sky Dome, Rogers Stadium

  
In the spirit of the circle, the Association for Native Development in the Performing and Visual Arts (ANDPVA) celebrates this years Exhibit with the Theme "In the Circle of Giving Back", looking at how the cycle and the cirls of life regenerates, as a fall season feeds into spring, going through a winter, and every year the rings inside a tree enlarge feeding from its leaves of a past season, to how a community invests into itself. Giving back becomes the connection to the enlargement of the circle and so showing strength through giving negates the weataness of not. Growth through connection becomes an absolute with the power of giving back and the circle continues to grow bigger.  
     

Each of the three paintings of Moses Beaver, in this exhbition, depict the circle and interconnection of life in various forms.
