Art bank looking to buy

The Canada Council Art Bank is planning to purchase $100,000 worth of Aboriginal art to add to its collection.

Director Victoria Henry said the art bank will be looking for both contemporary and traditional art including sculptures, paintings, prints, drawings and fine crafts.

The Art Bank, created in 1972 to support the efforts of Canadian visual artists and to provide public sector institutions with the opportunity to rent Canadian art for the offices or spaces, includes some 18,000 artworks and currently has more than 6,000 works rented to more than 200 government and corporate clients.

Aboriginal artists are being asked to submit a slide or photograph of the work they would like to sell to the Art Bank, as well as a resume, if available, and a description of the work. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 31, 2003.

The jury will meet in February to select the work.

Submissions should be sent to Suzanne Wolfe, Inventory Administrator, Canada Council Art Bank, 921 St. Laurent Blvd., PO Box 1047, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5V8.

Rankin Inlet youth dies

Rankin Inlet RCMP and the coroner’s office are investigating the death of a 17-year-old Rankin resident.

George Innukshuk died at approximately 4 p.m. on Nov.2.

According to Constable Paul Solomon, Innukshuk was running along a road near Rankin Inlet’s airport when he suddenly fell to the ground. A passerby, who noticed that Innukshuk didn’t immediately get up, called the local ambulance.

Innukshuk was then transported to the hospital, but attempts to revive him weren’t successful.

The RCMP say no foul play is suspected in Innukshuk’s death.

The youth’s body was sent to Edmonton this week for an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
