Dimensions 2021 - October to December 2022 |
| Hand-crafted excellence from all corners of Saskatchewan is on display in this biennial, open, juried show from the Saskatchewan Craft Council. Artistic risk-taking and boundary pushing in both skill and material are valued, leading to the creation of breath-taking and dynamic works. |
| Health in Space: Daring to Explore - January 21 to April 16, 2023 |
| Astronauts’ health is a top priority from the time they’re selected until well after their final mission. Health in Space is a travelling exhibition that explores how gravity, radiation, and isolation all pose unique health challenges for astronauts living and working in space. Highlights include authentic artifacts, interactive experiences, and video interviews with Canadian astronauts. A featured section within the exhibition will profile David Saint-Jacques, a Canadian astronaut and medical doctor, and his mission to the International Space Station. This travelling exhibition was developed and produced by the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency. |
| Youth Art Show - April 29 to May 27, 2023 |
| Held in conjunction with National Youth Arts Week, this annual exhibit showcases local talent of artistic youth. Hosting a variety of mediums and subjects, with no limitations or competition, this show is meant to inspire, celebrate and share the creativity of our youth. Submission Requirements:
Come appreciate the talents of Lloydminster’s youngest artists, in conjunction with National Youth Arts Week. From finger paints to fine pastels, this show has a bit of everything! |
| It Takes a Village: Community Building in the Border City - June 3 to September 2, 2023 |
| What makes a city? Some are known for their buildings or landmarks. Some are home to a famous person. But how do we build a 'home' from those things? Though Lloydminster was settled by a large group who arrived at the same time, a sense of community took years to develop. Early services were lean and often run by volunteers before they became standardized. Come explore the community groups, helpers, and builders who worked tirelessly for decades on projects and services to create the Lloydminster we know and love today. |
| Juried Fine Art Show - September 16 to October 21, 2023 |
| Experience works by talented artists from Lloydminster and the wider area selected by a professional judge. Categories include youth works, photography and fine art. Presented as part of the Arts Without Borders Festival. |
| Chromatopia - October 26, 2023 to January 13, 2024 |
| Inspired by Picasso's monochromatic 'blue period', each artist in this show was challenged to explore their own individual theme through the creation of two 12" x 12" x 1/2" monochromatic canvas-wrapped textile artworks using two assigned colour hues. Hung in columns of two, the works move through the colour spectrum in one direction on top and the reverse on the bottom. This travelling exhibit was created by the Fibre Arts Network, a co-operative of western Canadian fibre artists committed to promoting fibre as an art form and each other as artists. |
