THUNDER BAY – A new exhibit is bringing art outdoors as the Thunder Bay Art Gallery remains closed due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Kwewog Giiwednog Women of the North, a 16-by-8 foot mural by artist Sharon Hunter, has been put on display outside of the gallery at its location on the Confederation College campus.
The mural portrays three female figures dressed in regalia looking out over the Mississagi River in the Mississauga First Nation, near Blind River.
It’s part of a series of murals by Hunter that seek to tell community stories, and were originally displayed on billboards along Highway 17.
That’s a reflection of Hunter’s fondness for bringing art into public spaces.
