CREATIVE SASKATCHEWAN Investment Grant Outreach Tour
In an effort to reach as many Saskatchewan creative producers as possible, we are hosting 8 outreach sessions from August 25 through September 5 in a variety of locations throughout the province. Learn about investment opportunities for commercial creative industry projects and endeavours that can help you introduce your product to global markets.
Creative Saskatchewan is a new agency dedicated to the growth and commercial viability of Saskatchewan’s creative industries. A series of workshops throughout the province will provide information about our investment programs and tips on compiling and submitting your application.

Spoon Me’s online guests will be directed from the www.medalta.org/spoonme
page to view the show on Medalta’s new Pinterest page. ***Note this will be live online as of September 1st.*** Spoons can be
viewed and re-pined by other Pinterest users. The link on the photo
remains with the image and will take viewers directly to the spoons
purchase page which happens to be on our brand new Medalta online shop
that we are also launching with the spoon show. Our shop will feature
contemporary ceramics from our exhibitions, starting with Spoon Me, as
well as reproductions of historical Medalta pottery made in our Museums
production studio.
At Medalta we are passionate about ceramics, from our clay industry past
to the contemporary ceramics community. Through this exhibition, in the
gallery and online, our goal is creating more space and opportunity for
contemporary craft artists to engage with a growing audience…and our
audience is eagerly awaiting this exhibition!

#1&2 are Leigh Wen: The line & meditative qualities of her
work are so inspiring to me. She can capture the sea in a squiggle better than
any other artist out there!
patience, & the skill required to create this work is outstanding and
something to aspire to.
movement of Sandi’s work- that and the fact that she uses slabs rather than the
wheel…I just love that!
#5 & 6 are me:
my life the sea has been a source of peace, reflection, fascination,
and
endless inspiration. I have spent countless hours on or beside it in the
quiet
meditations of beach combing or listening to the movement of the water.
Through form, surface treatment & glazing I hope for my sculpture
&
functional work to reflect some of my favorite qualities of the sea, as
well as
my life-long enchantment with it.
