Bruce Alfred Tribe: Kwakwaka'wakw
Bruce Alfred was born in 1950 in Alert Bay, a remote island village on
the northern coast of Vancouver Island. He apprenticed with Richard Hunt
and Doug Cranmer . In 1980, he was chosen as one of the contemporary artists
to be included in the exhibition, “Legacy—Tradition and Innovation in
Northwest Coast Indian Art”, curated by Peter Macnair for the Royal British
Columbia Museum in Victoria. The exhibition traveled for several years
and was instrumental in highlighting the contributions made by the current
generation of artists and became the flagship of the renaissance of Northwest
Coast art. The catalogue (still in circulation as a book) remains as important
documentation on the contemporary art form of the time. Bruce resides
in Alert Bay, continuing a variety of artist works that reflect his heritage.
