PAST EXHIBITIONS

 

The Voices for the Missing Art Exhibit was a unique display created to honour the province's ten long-term missing children: Jennifer Catcheway, Abby and Dominic Maryk, Amber McFarland, Marcus McKay, Claudette Osborne, Dwayne Ross, Waylon Smith, Sunshine Wood and Kevin Zdarski.

The tour of The Voices for the Missing Art Exhibit, was organized by Child Find Manitoba in collaboration with Graffiti Gallery in Winnipeg and Manitoba Arts Network and is travelling with the generous support of Gardewine North and Calm Air.

This tour is now over, after a succesful year on the road. The art works are back in Winnipeg and discussions are now under way to find a permanent home for the collection. To view the works from the show, please visit the Child Find Manitoba website. For more information, please contact Child Find Manitoba through their web site or call Tim Schouten, Visual Arts Program Coordinator at 204.943.0036 or email him at visualarts@mbartsnet.ca
