Art collection granted new life
Page 3
An historic collection of Native art, once threatened with being dispersed among private buyers, is on its way to a new home.
A committee of Alberta artists and an elder is undertaking a year-long study into where the unique collection should be housed. The approximately 230 pieces of art and cultural objects faced the auction block less than a year ago when their guardian, the now defunct Indian Arts and Crafts Corporation, closed because of funding cuts.
