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.

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.
