Houle’s images find permanent home

The School of Art Gallery at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg is able to purchase Robert Houle’s Sandy Bay Residential School Series after receiving the York Wilson Endowment Award from the Canada Council for the Arts. Houle, a respected Anishnabe artist, curator, critic and educator, created the series of 24 works in one month, hoping to come to terms with his memories of abuse. Houle’s recent show, Paris/Ojibwa, toured Canada and was shown at the Canadian Cultural Centre in Paris.
