Today marked the final in a series of art classes sponsored by Love2Thrift/the Whitehorse Community Thrift Store. Thanks to its generous donation, we have been able to offer six low barrier art workshops this summer and fall, all of them aimed at diverting materials from the waste stream.

Thanks to some generous funding from Lotteries Yukon, we have acquired some heavy-duty tents, tables and chairs, and custom signage, to transform our gallery yard into an outdoors arts space. This new infrastructure greatly expands our ability to host open-air creative gatherings.

A detail of Donald Watt’s bronze sculpture “Grandfather Teach Us How to Fish”. Donald follows a traditional casting process for making his bronze work, which involves many steps and many hours. This beautiful piece is available in our gallery for $2,000.

These two exceptional pieces are from our current exhibit “Pat Bragg and Friends: Where We Live”. The magpie was created by Yukon artist Helen O’Connor using handmade paper and acrylic paint; $300.

This is as good a summary as I’ve seen.

Instead of using the Notwithstanding clause, the Canadian government is just continually tabling non-Charter compliant legislation, saying it is Charter compliant, and the media is either too stupid or too corrupt to challenge it. This country is is too stupid to live in. #cdnpoli
