Local Arts

Singer-songwriter Teagan Littlechief will return to the stage, Sat, Aug. 27 at Carlyle Memorial Hall.

North Portal, down near the border with the U.S., had an artistic calm about it over the course of the past week.

If the Souris Valley Theatre’s summer musical theatre camps are any indication, it would appear some local youths have been bit by the acting bug.

The Souris Valley Theatre’s inaugural Bordertown Bootleggers Run attracted a variety of participants, but it didn’t have as many people as organizers wanted. The event took place on Aug. 6 at sites in and around Estevan.

The two main stage shows at the Souris Valley (SV) Theatre’s Frehlick Hall attracted good crowds this summer. Approximately 1,100 people attended the musical comedy Chickens, which ran from July 6 to 9 and July 12 to 16.

David Dyck, the associate curator for the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum (EAGM), admits it was a challenge to bring together the current exhibits at the EAGM. After all, there aren’t many artists who bring art and sport into their works.

Participants at the Weyburn Wor-Kin Shop are exploring “Colour Sense” through a six-week project with Simple with a Twist (Heather van der Breggen and Rickee-Lee Webster).

The Estevan Art Gallery and Museum (EAGM) was looking for a way to bring sport and art together in honour of the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games in Estevan. They believe they have done just that with a trio of new exhibits.

It was an eventful July for young people at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum (EAGM), as the organization hosted four weeks of Artist in the Making summer camps.

The Estevan Community Garden might not seem like the most obvious setting for an art activity, but Diana Chisholm believes it is an ideal place for creative expression.
