Breaking New Ground
“Breaking New Ground”
From the ox and plow to the researcher’s lab bench, Manitobans have been continually breaking new ground.
These 4′ x 4′ artworks, made entirely of pulse crops (and a few sunflower seeds), celebrate Manitoba’s leaders in agri-food and human research – at the University of Manitoba and the Canadian Centre for Agri-Food Research in Health and Medicine, in 2016, Year of the Pulses.
We are offering the chance to own these artworks for $2500.00 (per piece), with proceeds to the St. Boniface Hospital Foundation. If you are interested, please contact Bill Peters at billp@sbrc.ca or (204) 258-1325.
