The Godfrey Dean Art Gallery is calling for art from Yorkton and area artists.

The gallery’s annual Local Artist Show, which has been held annually for more than 15 years, is returning this year in June.

Artists are invited to submit up to five artworks, and they will be accepting artwork submissions between May 17-25.

Artists should be aware the works must be dropped off in person at the gallery, during regular gallery hours. Artists are also responsible for pick-up of their artworks following the exhibition which runs June 1 to 30.

The show is returning to a gallery setting this year after being exclusively virtual in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, explained Gallery manager Kelly Litzenberger.

The virtual show attracted 60 artists, in 2020, about on par with 2019, noted Litzenberger, adding they expect a similar response from artists this year. The show is focused on Yorkton, and east central region artists.

The show will hang in the gallery, and will also be available virtually online, which broadens potential viewership, he added.

Submission forms for the show can be downloaded from godfreydeanartgallery.ca

Contact the gallery for more information; Monday – Friday 11am – 5pm, or Saturday 1pm – 4pm, or call  306-786-2992
