Creative Saskatchewan is hosting an ‘Investment Grant Outreach Tour’ in advance of our fall intake for program funding. This tour is open to all creative producers from our supported creative industries and is designed as an opportunity to learn more about Creative Saskatchewan, our funding programs, and tips for completing your funding application to us.

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.

Creative Saskatchewan manages 9 investment programs; each program is designed to support the success of its applicants.

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!

by | Aug 22, 2014 | Uncategorized

August 23rd – September 30th, 2014

MudFire presents Girl Parts, an exploration of all things GIRL,

includes tiles, mugs, pots, sculptures, and a wide array of color, style
and material.

This show has a bit of everything – from pretend boyfriends and
lovely lady postcards to inticing sculptures from Kyungmin Park and
Kirsten Stingle give us something a little more to ponder about
femininity. Come see for yourself!

Starting August 23rd – this work will be on view in the gallery and
online – we will be holding a reception celebrating these delightful
works from 5pm – 8pm on Saturday August 23rd. Kirsten Stingle will be

Remembering Kirk Mangus – an exhibition

by | Aug 20, 2014 | Uncategorized

The
Nevica Project would like to take this opportunity to feature some of
the beautiful work made by artist Kirk Mangus.  Kirk was a leader and
mentor in the field of ceramics, serving as head of the ceramics program
at the Kent State University School of Art from 1985 until his death in
2013. Collected nationally and internationally, he was the recipient of
two National Endowment for the Arts grants, four Ohio Arts Council
fellowships, a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts fellowship, and a
McKnight fellowship residency at the Northern Clay Center in
Minneapolis.  
We would like to give a special thanks to Eva Kwong, his widow, that helped make this exhibition possible. A portion of all the
proceeds will be donated to the Kirk Mangus Ceramics Scholarship Fund at
Kent State University.  If you would like to make a donation, please do
so by sending a check to: Eva Kwong c/o School of Art, Kent State
Univ., 400 Janik Dr., Kent,OH. 44242. It is a 501c3 account- all
donations are fully tax-deductible for the donor and it would benefit so
many students..
