Art Gallery to ship out Beam painting

A little bit of Thunder Bay is heading to Ottawa next week. One of the Art Gallery's permanent works of art is being sent to the National Gallery on Monday. Alastair MacKay says its a painting by Carl Beam which will be part of a travelling exhibit. He says the National Gallery is collecting works by the Aboriginal artist and have requested that the local gallery send them one from their collection called Exorcism. MacKay says the national tour will be stopping in Thunder Bay in about two years or so.
