This is an opportunity for artists from across Saskatchewan to share with over 207,000 attendees to the Saskatoon’s Ex. Our goals are to educate the public on the rich variety of craft that is produced locally and provide a deeper understanding on some the processes and tools that are untilized your individual art practice. While we will not be selling work at the event, we are working on a QR code system so that potential buyers can easily find the work in our online store and make the purchase that way.

The theme of this exhibition is The Artisans Studio. Works will be selected by media represented, clarity of written processes, and quality of work.
