    Amy's On Second - 2990-2nd Avenue West
    www.AmysOn2.com

  • August: Lorraine Larson-Beardsworth paintings
    Lorraine Larson-Beardsworth writes freelance and poetry and does documentary photography. Her explorations of visual art began through photography. While living in La Ronge and working at Roadside Gallery, she took her first painting class to obtain a better understanding of colour for her photos. Instead she found a passion to express herself with acrylic paints and began explorations of other visual media as well. She has recently returned to Prince Albert, where she works as a full time artist and writer. She is grateful to Prince Albert's artists for their encouragement and generosity, especially her instructors, George Glenn and Myles MacDonald, and thanks her family, Reg, Jeremy and Cheryl, for their constant support.

    Little Gallery - 1010 Central Ave. Tel. 306-763-7080
    http://www.CityLightsNews.com/littlegallery/index.htm

  • July 1 - July 30: Postscript - a Billboard Project by Robert Houle
    Location of Billboard: cloverleaf at the south end of John Diefenbaker Bridge.
    This off-site billboard project of The Little Gallery originates from a joint AKA /Tribe exhibition of the work of Saulteaux artist Robert Houle.
    Postscript is a reproduction of two collaged images superimposed over one another to create a single image. The original collage includes newspaper clippings, a microscopic view of the small pox virus, and microfilm of the writings between General Amherst and Colonel Bouquet (circa 1763). The correspondence between Amhherst (English commander in Chief of British forts in the Great Lakes area) and Bouquet (his subordinate) indicates a plan to use smallpox as a strategy to undermine resistance of the Algonquin speaking people.
    Currently based in Toronto, Houle grew up on the Sandy Bay Reserve in Manitoba. His career is as a painter, curator and scholar of Aboriginal art.

  • July 6 - August 20: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Wood by Doris Wall Larson
    Opening Reception: July 6, 5:00-7:00pm
    Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Wood is a five part meditation and healing exercise in the form of a sculptural installation. The project was inspired by Eastern systems of spiritual development, especially that of the chakras, or energy centres in the body, as well as by her own experience of dealing with grief and loss.
    Wall Larson's artistic concerns are also with interactivity and with "craft-based" work. The fabrication of the pieces is obviously the result of human hands. Her sculptures are addressed to a curious general public, and much of her work has a hands-on element. Viewers are expected to open drawers and doors, and to handle the pieces.
    Wall Larson lives in Saskatoon. She has exhibited widely in Saskatchewan and across Canada.

  • August 25 - October 8: Informed Memories - Canadian Icons in Outsider Art
    Opening Reception: September 18, 8:30pm
    Dmytro Stryjek, Alex Mullie, Charles Crate, Sam Spencer, and Paul Sisetski
    Curated by Brenda Barry Byrne
    OUTSIDER ART OR ART BRUT - (the term created by French painter Jean Dubuffet meaning Raw Art) is an art without regard to the mainstream art world's recognition - artwork created by people that are, to a great extent, socially isolated, living on the fringe of society or who have had little or no formal education. The work of the five artists included in Informed Memories, represents a kind of extreme individualism, free from all social and cultural constraints.
    The celebration of pop-culture, and Canadian icons - images gathered from magazines, newspapers, comic books and catalogues, used as object or subject matter - can be seen in the work of Chuck Crate, Sam Spencer, Alex Mullie, Dmytro Stryjek, and Paul Sisetski.
