Local talented artists will have a chance to display their work at ArtFarm IV, which will be hosted at the van der Breggen farm on June 11.
ArtFarm is a family event that will include food, live music, face painting, children’s activities, horse-drawn wagon rides, as well as displays from local artists.
With the help of the van der Breggen family and a committee of dedicated “Articulturists”, the ArtFarm group are excited to facilitate the fourth annual Art Farm festival which accommodates many artists and guests as well as live music in a rural setting.
ArtFarm is organized by a group of Articulturists. “We have a diverse group of artist friends, both accomplished and emerging. Painters, potters, sculptors, photographers, musicians, performing artists coming together to give a market type experience in a casual country atmosphere,” said Heather van der Breggen.
This year, the board of Articulturists will be collaborating on an art piece. Also, they have partnered with the Kinsmen to do a raffle of four works of art by local artists Jaynie Himsl, John Woodward, Abraham van der Breggen and Chris Borshowa.
The application for any artist who wants to display their work at ArtFarm IV has been recently updated. Residents can download the form at www.artfarmfestival.com.
Any interested artist can also contact any of the Articulturists for more information.
They are reserving four spots for youth, under the age of 16, that will be chosen on a first-come first-in basis. From all the applications, 40 artists will be accepted into displaying at ArtFarm IV.
Residents are encouraged to gather their family and friends to experience a unique shopping atmosphere during ArtFarm IV.
Throughout the event, there will be opportunities to have a snack, lunch or supper, and witness art and music being made amidst the beautiful prairie landscape of the rural setting.
Admission is a toonie, with children under 6 free.
ArtFarm has been a very successful event for the last couple of years. According to the ArtFarm website, the success if proof that “creation matters, live music speaks, Saskatchewan people are the optimum teammates and the most spectacular back drop is the big sky of the Saskatchewan prairies.”
The van der Breggen acreage is located five minutes from Weyburn on Highway 35 south. Drivers heading out to the event can turn west at TWP 080, then turn south at the white barn. There are plenty of road markers available.
