If you're in Winnipeg this weekend (or in the next month or so) and are looking for something to do, I'd recommend that you consider visiting the Winnipeg Art Gallery's (WAG) newest exhibit (opening this weekend), an excerpt from the WAG website:
The Winnipeg Art Gallery is thrilled to be the only Canadian host for Illuminating the Word: The Saint John's Bible, the first handwritten and illuminated Bible commissioned since the advent of the printing press more than 500 years ago. A richly ornamented masterwork, hand-illustrated with gold leaf on oversized vellum, the Bible is an unprecedented undertaking in contemporary book arts and a major cultural and interfaith endeavor. Measuring 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide, it contains 1,100 pages bound in 7 volumes...
I'm planning to check it out at least once or twice... either way, it looks to be a very promising, enlightening experience... ;) Thanks to 'Segun Olude for the heads-up. Cheers!
