Nipigon Historical Museum as Art Gallery

 

Nipigon Historical Museum

As

An Art Gallery

Have you ever thought that?

During the two weeks

July 16 – 27

We will show you that we are.

Our summer staff can tour you around as our “art’ is everywhere.

With over 20 artists represented, plus  Those who walked this earth

“Before Present”

Even a superbly crafted stone tool is seen by us  today as a “work of art”, whereas 5000 years ago it was “Life or Death” to the maker.

For those who think they’ve seen it all, we have a Surprise:

A two week loan of a Super Dooper  painting to lure you back in.

POETRY IN MOTION

Ode to the Nipigon has been made into a Silent Movie style with black and white photos of the river given ACTION.

Done by Thunderstryker Films
2 versions  one with music and the other with voice.
If you can access Nipigon History facebook page  you can watch and listen to  my poem.
See the Nipigon River Rapids that were, seethe and boil and the waterfalls, now gone, plunge  !
