The Indigenous Art Centre will no longer lend out its $14.4 million art collection after an audit found that more than 100 pieces of art have gone missing, Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Rebecca Alty says.
“The practice of lending out pieces to offices was discontinued,” Alty said while testifying before the House of Commons indigenous and northern affairs committee on Nov. 17, which was first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter. She said her department has taken “a number of steps” to ensure the artwork is now “protected.”
