This year’s event highlights Indigenous maritime cultural arts traditions in the Dawnland, including the ceremonial launch and paddle on the Merrimack River of a traditional hand crafted muhsh8n (mishoon dugout canoe) made by Darius Coombs and Jonathan James Perry and Jason Pardilla’s Aputamkon (birch bark canoe).
Imagine Studios is honored to have been a 2025 grant recipient of the New England Foundation for the Arts “Public Art for Spatial Justice” initiative for “The Merrimack Mishoon Project!”
