Every year we introduce new artists to the public and show off the latest work by those we have been following for years and years. The show is hung 'salon style' and all of the art is for sale. The exhibition showcases the tremendous talent we have right here in our own community. It's also a great opportunity to purchase affordable Saskatchewan art that is not available elsewhere in the city.
