Shurniak Art Gallery hosts virtual reality Art Adventures

The Shurniak Ary gallery will be offering free half hour Virtual Reality Art experiences by appointment.

ASSINIBOIA - The Virtual Reality (VR) Art Adventures program was recently hosted at the Shurniak Art Gallery in Assiniboia.

The project allowed the purchase of a computer, headsets, earphones and software programs enabling the residents of Assiniboia to experience virtual reality (VR) in creation. The targeted audience were children and youth to engage in the arts through a new medium with educational art opportunities.

This project however allowed for an immersive and interactive experience for all ages who were interested in this new concept of creating art. We found that the seniors were just as enthusiastic as the youth. Many volunteers and visitors of the Gallery have shown interest and participated in various art software programs. This will enable them to share in the knowledge of the equipment as well. The projects have allowed for us to provide continuing opportunities to offer educational programming for people of all ages.

The Shurniak Ary gallery will be offering free half hour Virtual Reality Art experiences by appointment. For more information, call the Gallery at 306-642-5292.
