Art Windsor-Essex respectfully acknowledges that we are located on Anishinaabe Territory – the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations, comprised of the Ojibway, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi. Today the Anishinaabe of the Three Fires Confederacy are represented by Bkejwanong. We want to state our respect for the ancestral and ongoing authority of Walpole Island First Nation over its Territory.

Windsor Salt + Belcher Stone: Youth Culture in the North
April 1, 2002 - July 14, 2002
AWE Gallery
This youth-orientated exhibition explores the Arctic through models, carvings, computer-based interactive art, projections, and photography. Through a variety of media, visitors can learn more about the Belcher Island community – an island community in the southernmost part of the Arctic. Margaret Lawrence, a local artist who teaches at the Belcher Island School, will make miniatures representing contemporary and traditional living environments in the North. Wayne Tousignant, a local artist and instructor at the University of Windsor, will produce a projection of images and artwork made by Belcher Island youth. A number of interactive and tactile elements will also be included to further enhance our understanding of the North.
