Exhibits

Why do people collect things? What do you collect? In this exhibit, Lloydminster residents’ collections will take centre stage as we explore the psychology of collecting. Show off your hockey cards, travel souvenirs, rocks and salt and pepper shakers. No collection is too small!

PROJECT 360 Plus: What’s the story?  - March 4 to April 3

Project 360 Plus by Karue Wachira, uses photography and one to three sentence stories to engage viewers as they create their own story while opening their minds to the possibilities of challenging that account, which we have become accustomed to and has become popular belief. The project’s title, Project 360 Plus, was coined from the multitude of perspectives that from which the viewers can see each story.

Geoff Phillips: Plantscapes of the Prairies - April 7 to 23

Created to bring more awareness to the unique landscapes of south western Saskatchewan, Plantscapes of the Prairies challenges viewers to take a closer look at their environments and to learn about the different species in the landscapes. Through capturing these vistas and landscapes, Phillips became interested in conservation, the role of the Parks and what they were preserving. His bold brushwork highlights seemingly underwhelming land, giving it colour in new ways for the public to experience.

Many people rarely envision the species we walk on as having any artistic merit, interest or importance. The parks are very important in keeping rare species of plants and preserving the natural grasslands and forest ecosystems. Without these parks there would not be any natural land to explore for artists, but the real cost is to the ecosystems and animals they sustain.

A Taste of Science - April 28 to August 22

Have you ever wondered why food spoils? A Taste of Science highlights the role science plays in delaying food decay and keeping food nutritious and safe for us to eat. In this engaging experience, immerse yourself in an oversized “pantry” and discover what makes food spoil and different food preservation techniques. You’ll find lots to feed your mind and imagination on the menu!

Produced by the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, this quirky exhibition will get audiences squirming at the sight of rotting food.

Adornment - July 6 to September 21

More than just a way to protect our bodies from the elements, our clothing is often used to represent our personality, points of view and how we express ourselves. Fashion is also affected by society - politics, war and pop-culture can drastically change how we dress. In this first-of-its-kind exhibit, explore the clothing and accessories collections of the LCSC and experience how fashion trends changed for our community’s early residents from the late-1800s through to the 1950s.

Berthold Von Imhoff is in our permanent art gallery. A major attraction at the Lloydminster Cultural and Science Centre is the collection of paintings by Count Berthold Von Imhoff. The gallery houses over 250 oil paintings by the artist.
