L’exposition « A Job to Say » juxtapose des expressions locales à des visuels et connaît un succès monstre tant auprès des gens du coin que des « come from aways » (les touristes).

Catch the roving gallery in the Northwest Territories

A new and innovative mobile art gallery surfaced in Yellowknife in summer 2019. It’s a bright cargo trailer housing a gallery that roams from community to community in Canada’s remote North. The idea is to “cross-pollinate ideas” and give local artists and craftspeople a venue to show their work. Check the website for locations.
