“Rihkee Strapp and Candace Day Neveau, lead artists on the Mill Market Mural Project, have been busy all summer seeking out the untold stories of Sault Ste. Marie & District.
The Mill Market Mural Project is a community arts initiative using collected stories from community members to inspire images in the mural to be installed on the walls of the Mill Market, located at 35 Canal Drive, right off the Hub Trail.
The first panel, dedicated to creation stories, [was] revealed on Wednesday, August 26th at 6:00pm just after the Mill Market’s farmer’s market. Wednesday, September 2nd, at 12noon a panel dedicated to internationally known artist, Cecil Youngfox, who was originally born in Blind River will be unveiled. The final panel, celebrating the Soo Pipe Band’s 100th year anniversary will be presented on Friday, September 12, during the Mill Market Mural’s Back to School BBQ. The Soo Pipe Band will be performing during this final celebration. Other unveilings may be added. Keep updated with NEW events through our website: http://millmarketmural.weebly.
This project is funded through the Aboriginal Artists in Community Program offered by the Ontario Arts Council, an agency of the Government of Ontario.
