Wonderful news! Excited to host STEVEN LONEY CREATIONS at this years 61st Annual Rockhound Gemboree, July 30th to August 2nd, 2026. Thank you to The Prince Edward County Arts Council for supporting.
✨ Congratulations to Steven Loney - 2025-26 Indigenous Voices Fund Grant Recipient! ✨
⭐ STEVEN LONEY CREATIONS is a sculptor of Mohawk and Irish/English/Dutch heritage working primarily in soapstone. He also creates using a variety of other mediums including antlers, wood, ink, paint, wood burning, and pyrography on hide. Steve’s work appears in private and public collections throughout North America and Europe. Most recently, he was commissioned by Queen’s University to create a sculpture given to recipients of the Principal’s Indigenous Education Award.
⭐ This grant will support Steven as he carves a stone sculpture “live” in public at the 2026 Rockhound Gemboree, Canada’s largest gem and mineral show, located in Bancroft, Ontario. He will do carving demos, helping share about First Nations culture for Indigenous and non-Indigenous members of the public. Upon completion, the sculpture will become a public art piece in the town of Bancroft.
🙌 We sincerely thank everyone who helped make our 2025-26 round of grants possible. Learn more about our supporters and the Indigenous Voices Fund at countyarts.ca/indigenous-voices-fund.
