It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of a talented artist and a gentle man, Joseph Illupalik Palluq. An Inuk Carver/Sculptor, from Igloolik, Nunavut,... Joe began carving ivory and stone at the age of nine, following the tradition passed onto him by his Grandfathers, Autut Paliak and Abel Inuksuk. Since arriving 'down South' in 1998, he had continued the tradition of carving Inuit motifs, using serpentine, marble, walrus tusk and teeth, as well as, whalebone. Joe was a popular studio on the MVST for several years. Our deepest condolences , from all of us here on the tour, go out to Joseph's family and friends. See more

Stop by the Osprey Gallery today, Saturday October 5, to meet a local artist Alfred G. Villeneuve. Alfred G. Villeneuve "Saturated Motion in Colour gives life,.. animated for all time."... Alfred G. Villeneuve was born in Barry's Bay, Ontario near Algonquin Park. Alfred's introspective reflections on his Algonkin, French and Polish bloodlines and his autodidactic approach to the study of Art History has given him the freedom to explore, to find his own voice and eventually discovering his own explicitly unique painterly language he has named , "Algonkin Mosaic". This core expression is a result of the divination between his father's Algonkian-French cultures and traditions, and his mother's hardworking Polish-Kashub heritage in which Catholicism was central in teaching and disciplines. In the 1970's-80's Alfred worked at the East Gate location in Algonquin as Park staff, giving advice to prospective canoeists and issuing permits. Since, Alfred has travelled and painted from the most northern parts of Algonquin to the South, covering literally thousands of kilometers. He continues to ply her silent waterways in solitary communion or in the company of kindred spirits. Alfred's work is widely collected, most notably as part of the permanent collection at the McMaster Museum of Fine Art, at McMaster University in Hamilton Ontario. He also has been awarded several production grants from the Ontario Arts Council and was selected to show in a group exhibition in 2008 at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.
