THE WILLISVILLE MOUNTAIN PROJECT: Rock-Spirit-Art Exhibit Catalogue, was an organized art show in support of saving Ontario's Willisville Mountain from being mined.
The Willisville Mountain project was initiated in 2009 by Jon and Kerry Butler, Sophie Edwards and Christi Belcourt after it came to light that Vale (then Inco) owned the mining rights to the Willisville Mountain and they intended to “quarry” the mountain. In an effort to save the mountain, 45 artists were selected for the exhibit which toured to 5 locations (Whitefish Falls, Sheguindah, Sudbury, Temiskaming, and Kirkland Lake) between 2009 and 2010.
As one of the artists Kathy Browning stated, “We did it! 45 Artists 1 Mountain. The Willisville Mountain Project toured for 1 year and was exhibited in 5 cities. I am very pleased to be able to tell you that we have succeeded in our quest to ‘Save Willisville Mountain’, and Willisville Mountain will now be preserved for generations to come!
