ARC Creative studios celebrates its second year of operations this summer.
The studio hosts 13 local artists working in different mediums and are visually stimulated through collaborations, artists working and a place of solitude. Â
For the month of July and August the gallery space features work from the majority of working artists. They include Juanita Aucamp, Kamila Badura, Mary Ann Baxter, Michael Brokop, Sherron Burns, Joseph Campbell, Chris Hodge, Karen Kowalski, Brenda Lamb, Jesse Navarro, Barb O'Neil, Rosemarie Stadnyk and Joanne Rivers-Wing.
Sherron Burns, has been interested in work that evokes a story, piques a memory or startles the imagination. Â Her current work invites you to participate by manipulating the objects in her work and taking a personal connection with the story (art piece). Â
Burns has conceived and organized the Free Range Puppet Lab in North Battleford and was joined by artists from across Canada for five days of creativity, an event hosted by the Chapel Gallery. Â
Juanita Aucamp joined the studio this year and has found her artistic focus in the studio. Juanita likes to gather artistic ideas from photographs in magazines and then takes her personal life and meshes these to the canvas. Â
She feels her childhood in Â鶹´«Ã½AV Africa and Namibia comes through in her work’s vibrant colours and tribal patterns. Â
ARC Creative studios Gallery is located in North Battleford at 1102-101 Street and is open only on Fridays from noon until 4 p.m. Artists work in the studio at various times so if the lights are on knock and be welcomed to view the current exhibition.Â
