handmade moccasins
The Aboriginal Artworks Groups of Northern Ontario presents the 8th annual Aboriginal Fine Arts and Crafts Sale from December 8 -11, 2010. The hallways of Victoriaville Mall are lined with an impressive assortment of arts and crafts – you’ll find everything from carvings and paintings to jewelry and dreamcatchers, with a huge selection of beautifully-beaded moccasins. The sale is open from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. daily. We recommend parking in the parkade ($1 – flat fee).
Meet Métis artist and medical student, Jamie Thompson (@birchandbeads), whose online auction raised $3,335 in support of Asabiinyashkosiwagong Nitam-Anishinaabeg (Grassy Narrows First Nation). We love how she carefully recreates the tiny ventricles, valves, and arteries of an anatomically correct heart with tiny glass beads.

@bettycarpick hopes her art will get people to think about the importance of protecting our waterways and what we all can do to ensure continued access to clean, safe water. Check out “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” (Waterways of Thunder Bay) on the west side of Water Street before the end of June.
