Following is a release by the Saskatchewan Craft Council:
Dimensions聽is a biennial, juried, touring exhibition of contemporary craft organized by the Saskatchewan Craft Council (SCC) for over 40 years.聽Dimensions聽encourages Saskatchewan artists to push themselves creatively and technically. Selected works are unique, incorporating individual expression that transcend technique; works have content as well as achieving technical and creative excellence.
This year, 130 works were submitted by 83 artists including 21 emerging artists, providing an impressive assortment of fine craft. Our Jurors, David Freeman and Jane Kidd, were tasked with the challenge of selecting just 35 pieces for the exhibition and deciding which pieces might merit an award.
Dimensions聽jurying was an online experience in 2021. While the SCC has always prioritized in-person jurying for this project, the health and safety of the jurors, SCC staff, and the nearly 100 artists who enter Dimensions are of utmost concern.
