During Culture Days on Sept. 25 to 27, ARC Creative Studios opened the studio to the public, offering an opportunity to participate in ‘creative’ artistic possibilities.
Over the three days the studio was full. Men, women and children of all ages who were more than ready to roll up their sleeves, get dirty and create some art took advantage of the opportunity.
The studio offered five art events each of the three days, running from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday evening and all afternoon Saturday and Sunday. The events were: Printmaking with Mary Anne Baxter; Acrylic Possibilities with Rosemarie Stadnyk; Reclaiming or Creating a New Toy by Sherron Burns; Inks on Ceramic Tile by Kamila Badura; and Clay Creations with Joanne Rivers Wing
Participants spent extensive time at their stations of choice. All the activities took no less than one hour and often close to two hours, so many people returned for a second or third visit. The studio has a small gallery space so most participants chose to leave their masterpieces with us for a couple of weeks to display on our walls.
We hope the public feels free to stop by any Friday or Saturday afternoon to view the show. We felt our weekend was a huge success and are tweaking plans for next year.
We are grateful to Saskatchewan Culture Days for their assistance supporting the weekend, to all our visitors, art facilitators and Culture Days photographer, Amanda Fisher.
