Call For Northern Saskatchewan Artists

A call is going out for artists in northern Saskatchewan.

 

The Northern Sports, Culture & Recreation District is creating a northern Saskatchewan artist registry it hopes will link artists and communities since northern artists are often hidden.

 

Miriam Koener is coordinating the registry, and says originally there were categories of more contemporary visual art, music and drama.

 

However, she says the categories have been opened up to traditional skills as well such as birch bark biting, antler carving and storytelling.

 

Any artist interested in being a part of the handbook and online database can contact Koener at the NSCRD office or visit its web site at nscrd.com.
