Coast Salish art is the term commonly applied to a style of art created primarily by artists of the Coast Salish, an indigenous peoples of British Columbia, Canada and Washington state, cultural and linguistical group., from pre-European-contact up to contemporary times. The Coast Salish art form is sometimes distinguished apart of Northwest Coast art, but sometimes it does not. It is quite distinctly different from Northwest Coast art characterized by Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, Kwakwaka'wakw, Nuu-chah-nulth art. It's different in form, style, and use of white space. The art form was used in spindle whorls, house posts, welcome figures, combs, bent wood boxes, canoes, and other cultural objects. Some contemporary Coast Salish artists are Susan Point, Chris Paul, and many others. It's currently undergoing a revival in the past 20 years.
