Statement from the MOA Shop on Harvey John

It has recently come to MOA Shop’s attention that works sold under the name of Harvey John were falsely represented as Indigenous. MOA Shop purchased Harvey John works in good faith from a wholesale supplier whose products and relationships were respected in the BC arts community; however, upon learning this troubling news, MOA immediately severed ties with the supplier and removed Harvey John works from the Shop’s inventory.

If you purchased a Harvey John work from the MOA Shop, we invite you to contact the MOA Shop Manager, Sharon Haswell, to discuss return arrangements: sharon.haswell@ubc.ca.
