Handmade House seeking new Artisans

The working members who run Handmade House on Broadway are always looking for new Saskatchewan-based artisans to consign work in the shop. We always set aside time at our monthly meetings to examine any small, representative samples of work either sent to us or dropped off at the shop. There'd be no question about the quality of work by those who have already been juried into the Saskatchewan Craft Council, but we have to decide whether it would fit with what we already sell, and whether we have space in our small shop to adequately display it. After the meeting, someone from the shop would contact the artisan by phone to discuss our decision.

We are open every day except Sundays and holidays from 10:00am to 5:30pm. Any working member who happens to be in the shop would be happy to talk to interested artisans in person at 710 Broadway Ave., Saskatoon, or by phone at 306.655.5542, or they could contact us by email. Samples of work can be left at the shop during business hours.

Art Event - Expression of Interest Request

The Friends of the Forestry Farm House is a non-profit organization committed to providing opportunities for city residents and visitors to discover the rich history of the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo, while also encouraging them to enjoy the peace and tranquility the house and grounds offer. The restored red brick Superintendent’s Residence stands as a testament to the past, offering for visitors, now and in the future, a glimpse of an important part of the heritage of Saskatoon and Saskatchewan.

The Friends of the Forestry Farm House is hosting their second Annual Spring Show and Sale event that would draw in citizens as well as providing a small fund raising opportunity for our non-profit.

As hosts, the Friends of the Forestry Farm House would

1. oversee the invitation to artists

2. publicize the event

3. book the Superintendent’s Residence

4. create a floor plan for artists.

5. provide food services

The artist space would be provided free although we would encourage a minimum $25 donation towards the Friends of the Forestry Farm House at the completion of the event. We have a very dedicated communications volunteer who would publish the event in a number of different mediums.

The Superintendent’s Residence is a two story house although the event would be limited to the main floor. Each artist would have approximately an 8’ x 8’ space in one of the 4 main rooms. The food services and our group display would be in the porch and this would allow for space for 12 to 14 artists. Each artist would be responsible for the display of their art endeavors - such display would be required to be free standing. Tables and electrical plug ins are available as are chairs. Extra lighting is the responsibility of the artist.

We have chosen Sunday May 27^th from 1:00 to 4:30 as the date. This coincides with our published walking tour and open house. There are minimal other published events on that date in Saskatoon at this point and it is before the usual “lake” season. The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo on a nice weekend in May draws in a significant number of patrons.

You have received this email as an invitation to submit your expression of interest along with images or a website showing your work. Due to space constraints and to ensure a well balanced mix of styles that will fit well within the house and compliment fellow artists, the committee will review and select from interested respondents. We recognize that it is only 3 months to the event and that it will require dedication for the artist to be ready for the show and sale. Please reply by March 25th to this email with the above information and any further questions that you might have regarding our 2^nd annual Spring Art Event.. We require a completed application form to be submitted as a letter of intent to ensure that we have the space adequately booked.

Sincerely,

Friends of the Forestry Farm House

What is SCENES FROM A DREAM?
Mendel Youth Council is offering opportunities for Saskatoon youth to present their creativity in a gallery setting. MYC welcomes submissions on the theme of dreams, representing a wide range of interpretations and media.
Due to space limitations, sculptural work must be smaller than 18 inches in any direction. While we prefer that you frame your own 2D works, the Mendel will endeavor to frame what is needed. The artwork is not insured. The Mendel Art Gallery will take precautions to exhibit all pieces as safely as possible in the auditorium space.

Who can be in the exhibition?
Mendel Youth Council is seeking submissions from high-school-aged artists from Saskatoon and area. Last year’s exhibition was a huge success, so this is your chance to be part of MYC’s great programming!

How can I submit my work and have it returned?
The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, February 29, 2012 between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. (Works will not be accepted outside of this time.) Bring your labeled submissions with your contact and label information, and a paragraph describing your work, to the Mendel Art Gallery. There is no limit to the number of works an artist may submit. All artists will be notified within four days whether or not works are accepted.
Unsuccessful submissions must be picked up on Saturday, March 3 between noon and 2 p.m. It is important that works are picked up at this time, as the gallery lacks storage space.
All exhibited artwork must be picked up following the exhibition on Monday, April 2 between 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. It is important that works are picked up at this time, as the gallery lacks storage space.

What is Mendel Youth Council?
Mendel Youth Council is a group of students from high schools across Saskatoon who have a passion for art. They meet bi-weekly at the Mendel to identify, organize, design, and market events and programs for other youth. Members gain unique art experience in a gallery setting, and provide a voice for young people in the art community in Saskatoon. Interested in joining?

Call for performative art work for Mendel Art Gallery

LUGO is seeking submissions for the presentation of a performative artwork to take place during this year’s event. The selected artist will present a work that will unfold during the evening throughout the Gallery spaces. The work will be conceived in the spirit of this year’s event –hand-made, heart-warming, evocative, collaborative and engaging.

Artists working in all disciplines will be considered. Performance art, dance, theatre, literature, sculpture, audio may be particularly well suited for this venue. For example, artists may engage with party participants to collect source material for a collaborative poem, an audio art piece, or a sculptural installation. The presentation could be a finished work – a dance or performance – or provide an opportunity to workshop a new piece. The artist must demonstrate the ability to execute the proposed project. A small honorarium will be paid.

To apply, email a brief description of the proposed activity (one or two paragraphs), a list of any technical support you may need, documentation of your work, and a résumé. Feel free to include additional support material including photographs, a script, video or links to the web. The deadline for submissions is December 15.

SCC markets are organized this way to foster an environment where excellence in craft is nurtured, recognized and valued. However, the SCC is also committed to aiding Saskatchewan craft artists to flourish creatively and economically. The SCC values education, mentorship and a supportive community of craft people.

In order to achieve these ends, the SCC has on occasion invited emerging craft artists into our sales in order to experience the market environment first hand and expand their contacts with the Saskatchewan craft community.

The booth would be able to accommodate a limited amount of work from up to 6 artists (depending on the size of the work). In order to qualify to take part in this initiative you must:

- Be or become an SCC member (Professional, Affiliated, Craftsperson or Student category - contact for info to join)

- Have fewer than 3 years craft market experience

- Be committed to pursuing a career in craft

There will be a $150 fee for taking part in the Emerging artist Market experience booth.
