Extracting Cultural Resources

blog dateline: Aug. 6, 08, Thunder Bay

……..Blind River, ON……..

In a country of resource extraction, sometimes the most impressive resources are surprisingly left unscratched.

This is the case in Blind River, Ontario, where an exciting exhibition awaits the eye of international attention.

The Art Freedom Ocean to Ocean Tour arrived in Blind River and is in the process of detailing the exhibition in full. The pics will be transferred within a couple of days and when we get time will post more. Hang onto your hard hats – this is interesting.
