Writing on the Ridge (WOTR) has created a program - the Muskwa-Kechika Artist Camp - that provides opportunities for artists to experience the natural history of the M-KMA. The Muskwa-Kechika Artist Camps bring aboriginal and non-aboriginal artists working in a variety of disciplines (visual art, writing, performance art, photography) into the wilderness area. The dialogue the artists begin, and the artwork they produce, raises awareness of the M-KMA. AU is developing an online repository to host each year’s artwork. High resolution images of the artwork, and sound recordings of the literature produced will be available to an on-line audience. The website will also include features on the artists who participate, and a blog to encourage dialogue on art and wilderness. AU will also develop a virtual gallery and capture it on a DVD. The first DVD will be produced in 2008 to celebrate and promote International Polar Year. It will include artwork and literature from the 2006-2007 camps, and will bring the message of preservation and land management to an international audience.
