Transforming Spaces
With Indigenous Art & Décor
We transform event spaces into immersive art experiences that celebrate Indigenous culture and visual storytelling. From creative concept development to installation, we design every detail with intention and care.
Our Services
Our approach to art and décor transforms your vision into immersive event experiences, from creative concept development to installation.
Event Design
Our Art & Décor team develops cohesive event design concepts that bring your vision to life through curated mood boards, floor plans, art and décor placement, tablescapes, florals and digital design elements. Every design is thoughtfully crafted to create meaningful, visually impactful, and culturally grounded event experiences.
Art & Décor Rentals
Our authentic Indigenous art collection features rentable pieces that were built in collaboration with First Nation artists from across British Columbia. Each piece is thoughtfully integrated into your event design by our Art & Décor team, bringing cultural grounding and meaningful impact to your event.
Greenery and Natural Elements
We incorporate native plants, cedar boughs, branches and trees into event environments to acknowledge the lands and territories where gatherings take place. These land-based design elements create spaces that feel connected to nature, Indigenous traditions, and the natural world.
Tablescapes
Our tablescape designs feature beautifully curated settings that incorporate handcrafted wooden centrepieces, cedar mats, and table runners showcasing Indigenous artwork. Accented with seasonal florals, native plants, and locally sourced greenery, each tablescape draws inspiration from the natural landscapes to create memorable dining experiences that celebrate culture and connection.
Authentic Indigenous Art Activations
We enhance your event with live Indigenous art demonstrations, including carving, cedar weaving, beading, or collaborative mural painting. Led by Indigenous artists and cultural practitioners, these interactive activations create memorable guest experiences while celebrating Indigenous artistry and culture.
Commitments & Credentials
Our Approach
Rooted in tradition, honouring the voices and creativity of Indigenous Peoples, we transform event spaces with vision and care.
Our commitment is twofold: to support Indigenous culture and artists, and to ensure our event design creates an environment where people feel welcomed, connected, and inspired. From curated art collections and immersive installations to tablescapes, greenery, and live art activations, every element is intentionally designed to create authentic and meaningful impact.
The result is more than adding the finishing touches; it’s visual storytelling. It is a meaningful collaboration that honours culture, uplifts artists, and creates lasting connection extending beyond the event itself.

Artists We Work With
Mahatta Price
Mahatta Price
Mahatta Price grew up in the Comox Valley and is a member of K’ómoks First Nation. She first had the opportunity to weave a basket and cedar hat under the mentorship of Toni Frank. After a few years of weaving, Price began apprenticing under Pamela Mitchell. With Mitchell’s guidance, she learned to weave a wool and cedar cape, which took her months to complete.
Even at a young age Price has already worked with cedar bark for more than half her life. Her interest started when she was young, and her mom took her and her twin sister to a workshop on making cedar bracelets and headbands.
Since then, weaving has become a part of Price’s life. “I’ve always been artsy,” she says. From a young age, she loved to draw and paint; weaving became another way to express herself artistically. Now, she studies Metal Jewellery Design at North Island College on weekdays, and spends time most weekends weaving hats, headbands, baskets, mats, earrings, hearts, and roses from cedar

National Indigenous Peoples Day
Naut’sa mawt Event Management’s Art & Décor team was engaged to support the event through a thoughtfully designed stage installation that brought Indigenous art and natural elements into the heart of the celebration. As the visual focal point of the event, the stage needed to feel impactful and welcoming while complementing the performances, speakers, and activities taking place throughout the day.
