 Unfiltered: Breaking the Frame

“As we navigate our digital landscape, the demand for perfection or conformity can overshadow genuine expression. I aim for my work to create a space that encourages authenticity and introspection.“

“Many of the works in this exhibit have a new mixed media approach with crochet. Crochet is a medium I picked up as a teenager and it has always been there for me throughout my evolution as an artist… I am intrigued and also saddened by the modernization of society conflicting with the beauty and natural elements of this world. Even through the cold brutalism of modernization, nature still thrives in places we might not think, like a construction site or rain water runoff.” – Lightofalotus a.k.a. Lotus Vivirviel, Artist.

“WHIMSY & WONDER: Expressions from the Heart of Home”

“The creative expressions within this collection capture the whimsy and wonder that our children experience in daily life – a snapshot of childhood emotions, explorations, and insights.”

Whimsy & Wonder is a collection of pieces from within the home environments of 11 unique families who all have one thing in common: they have chosen to home-educate their children. No two home education environments look the same, but aspects of the hearts of each home are encapsulated within each piece.

As you observe this collection, we hope you are moved to feel an expanded appreciation for seeing the world from a child-artist’s perspective, and to recognize the gift we all receive when we nurture childhood creative expression. – Charissa Slater, Exhibition Organizer

This exhibition is proudly sponsored by Cut Knife Country Lanes.

“Through the Ages”

The Gallery welcomes Cut Knife Community School’s THROUGH THE AGES from April 30 through May 30, 2025. “Art is a lifelong process of growth, and this collection invites you to experience that progression—how creativity develops, deepens, and evolves from early childhood through the teenage years.” 

Each artwork represents a step in a journey through the ages, reflecting the growth, exploration, and individuality that comes with learning and creating art at different stages of life.

Here, you will see the artistic voices of our youngest students beginning to emerge, alongside the more refined and complex expressions of our older students. – CKCS Students and Staff.

This exhibition is proudly sponsored by Cut Knife Country Lanes.

“Lurid Dreams”

Born and raised in Cut Knife, Métis artist Aleksi Ann’s LURID DREAMS uses a vivid colour palette, Saskatchewan-inspired imagery, and a dreamlike perspective to explore intense emotions and feelings of isolation.

Dreams can play tricks on our minds, giving us sensations and images that feel falsely familiar and real. By rooting the imagery aspect of this exhibition in things that remind me of home, I was able to abstract and distort my everyday into dreams. In many ways, the act of painting can feel like being the author of dreams – – reality is whatever you make it. – Aleksi Ann, Artist.

This exhibition is proudly sponsored by Métis Nation Saskatchewan.

“Coast to Coast: Celebrating Local Archives”

The Coast to Coast exhibition features a selection of artwork from the Clayton McLain Memorial Museum and Archives, a number of local history books from the Cut Knife Library – Lakeland Division and treasured pieces from the private collections of local residents.

Coast to Coast displays a variety of media from a wide range of artists. All pieces have a connection to the Cut Knife area. Some of the artists had roots here; some of the subject matter is central to the history here; other pieces were collected from other places and brought here. All artwork is described within the context of its historical narrative, which adds another dimension to the piece itself. Enjoy…

Artists represented are: Delilah Myrtle Atton, Shirley Marilyn Buday, Sidney Herbert Barker, Richard Lindemere, W.R. MacAskill, J.W.C Macdonald, R. McLeod, Joanne Patricia Shivak, and Unknown.
