* Preschool Bookings: We appreciate parents and caregivers wanting to bring their preschool groups to MOA for guided tours. However, our guides are trained to deliver tours to children grades K-12 (to fit with school curricula), and we are not able to accommodate children ages 2-5 on tours or as part of our regular school programs. We are, however, happy to assist in booking self-guided visits to MOA, in which parents, teachers, and small numbers of preschoolers are welcome to explore the Museum on their own. Admission to MOA is always free for children 6 and under, and if the total number in the group (including children) is 10 or more, then accompanying adults will be charged group rate admission.

Haida/Kwakwaka'wakw artist Meghann O’Brien was born and raised in Alert Bay, BC. She began weaving in 2007, inspired by mentors Kerri Dick, Donna Cranmer, and Beau Dick. In 2009, she was introduced to Ravenstail weaving, and apprenticed under Sherri Dick and William White. She now lives in Prince Rupert, and is learning the ancient technique of spinning mountain-goat wool by hand for Chilkat weaving. During her residency, which is supported in part by MOA and a Canada Council grant, Meghann will weave a Chilkat-Ravenstail robe entitled, “Property Woman’s Sky Blanket.”
