At the Godfrey Dean Gallery: Memory Eternal: Ukrainian Orthodox Church Interiors - July 9 to Sept. 7, 2012. Wynyard photographer Ed Stachyruk has been quietly documenting the interiors of tiny and often hidden Orthodox Catholic churches. An integral part of the settler experience, they will one day vanish and become part of folklore rather than living experience. Ed Stachyruk's photographs, crafted with careful attention to detail, offer an homage to this visual and spiritual heritage, part of the fabric of southeast Saskatchewan that is slowly fading away. Mon.-Fri. 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.; Sat. and Sun. 1-4 p.m.; 49 Smith St. E. Yorkton, SK. Admission is always free! www.deangallery.ca
