Exhibits are always fresh and changing at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery and the latest display has just been unveiled.
The gallery is pleased to announce the 2011 Landscape and Memory exhibition, featuring painting, sculpture, prints, photography and jewelry by 25 local and regional artists.
The theme is intended to be very inclusive says Gallery Director Donald Stein.
"The ideas of Landscape and Memory can refer to all kinds of images and media including traditional landscapes and wildlife, photographs that capture memories, portraits of people and places, and even travel images that reflect the landscapes and memories of far away places. Sculpture, fabric art and other forms of expression are welcome," says Stein.
"We want to make sure the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery maintains a strong connection and represents the local artist community... The annual Landscape and Memory exhibition allows us to showcase the tremendous range of talent that we enjoy in our region. It's a chance to engage and encourage local artists to share their work with the public.
"And as always, the gallery encourages you to consider urban and cultural landscapes as well as traditional ideas of landscape. For example, images of tattoos take place on the landscape of the body."
The historic Yorkton grain elevator was recently demolished and the gallery has a special focus on images of the elevator and the Kent Flour Mill, both recent and from the past concludes Stein.
The exhibition will continue until June 24, with an artists reception planned at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 15. All are welcome!
