Woodland Mural Art Project

Picture
The Woodland Mural Art Project is a community-focused Indigenous youth art initiative led by Indigenous artist and educator, Lucia Laford, teaching traditions of the Woodland Art style.

The Project, facilitated at the Art Gallery of Algoma, engaged 15-20 youth from the Indigenous Friendship Centre (IFC) of Sault Ste. Marie, who were 13-18 years of age, as participants in a series of eight workshops culminating in the creation of a mural to beautify the exterior wall of the Art Gallery of Algoma. Youth were educated in the elements and symbolism of Woodland art and the materials and techniques to create in this traditional style. The location of the mural makes it accessible to visitors and all who walk through the downtown park where the AGA is located.

​Participants: Lucia Cameron, Ceana Churchill, Jasper Corbeil, Jamie Coughlin, Lauren Coughlin, Rachel Fetherston, Chloe Hodgins, Isabella Hodgins, Molly MacDonald, Annyssa Miles, Lia Munroe, Charlotte Pinnell-Berry, Teah Roach, Noah Roberts, Vance Trudeau, Kyra Verville, Alice Vosper and Reynelle Wemigwans.
