Updates from the Baffin Expedition Art Show
On
Thursday, January 22nd Rob Saley and Dave Marshak of Drawnonward held
the opening of their art show 'Baffin Expedition' in co-operation with
Adventure Canada. The paintings showcased some of the amazing places
visited during last September's voyage of the same name. The evening
was a tremendous success with a big crowd and several paintings sold.
Aaju
Peter made the trip down from Iqaluit for the big night. Aaju treated
the crowd to a traditional Inuit song followed by a sampling of smoked
arctic char. Aaju made the night so special and Rob and Dave were
tremendously honoured to have her there.
A portion of the
proceeds from the show's sales were donated to the Kivalliq Inuit
Association in order to fund their annual art camp in Rankin Inlet.
Drawnonward will be in Rankin Inlet for the art camps this March and
August and look forward to working with the Inuit Youth in attendance.
Dave, Rob and Adventure Canada would like to extend a big thanks to everyone for making it such a special night!
Keep your eyes peeled for another art show in May that will showcase works from 2008's Newfoundland Circumnavigation!
Join Rob & Dave on our Atlantic Arts Float, September 26 - October 6, 2009. For more information please click here.
