| Art Classes at the Dean | Painting for Pleasure
Mondays, January 30, February 6 and 13
Tuesdays, February 21 and 28, March 6, 13 and 20
Registration fee is $85
Our adult painting classes usually take place on Monday evenings, but this term we are switching to Tuesdays part way through! It's worth changing days to get the fabulous instructors we need.
The first 3 Mondays are taught by Yorkton artist Vicky Winnitowy. An experienced teacher at Yorkton Regional High School, Vicky works extensively in drawing and watercolour. The first 3 classes will focus on basic techniques with ideas of colour and composition, charcoal sketching and other basic elements.
Saltcoats artist Joan Wilson is well known to Yorkton and region audiences for her work in all mediums, including outdoor murals! Another gifted and generous instructor, Joan will build on material covered in Vicky's classes with a focus on painting with acrylics.
Space is limited, call the gallery at 786-2992 to register.

| Current Exhibition | A Fading Light ...
25 Photographers,
25 Years of Photography at SIAST
January 12th to February 11th, 2012
Artist reception 2 pm, Sunday January 15th
This exhibition was organized by curator Gary Robins to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the SIAST Applied Photography program in 2011. Twenty five photographers were selected from over 200 submissions, all alumni of the program.
The show presents some of the best images from current professional photographers and from alumni when they were students in the program. Portraiture, documentary, commercial and fine art works are featured.
Sadly, the SIAST program was closed in 2011. A Fading Light and its accompanying hardcover publication became a commemoration of the history and success of 25 years of work developing photographers in Saskatchewan.
For a complete list of the photographers click on the 'Exhibitions, 2012' menu on the left.

| New 'Serpentine' Presentation Space | Invitation for Photographers
Godfrey Dean Serpentine Atrium
Open deadline
The Dean Gallery is christening a new informal presentation space. Named after the famous Serpentine Gallery in London, it takes its inspiration from the long angular atrium corridor.
"There are so many photographers active in the Yorkton region, it would be great to have a venue to showcase their work. We'll have a few images available in the main lobby of the Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre, and room for many more upstairs."
If you'd like to exhibit your photographs, contact Donald Stein at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery, either by email at gdag@sasktel.net or telephone 306-786-2992.
To submit work for consideration, send a link to your website for online images, email, or mail a disk, or drop by the gallery with your prints. Please include a CV or bio and some information about yourself.
