About

Join the Saskatchewan Craft Council in celebrating Saskatchewan contemporary craft. The Dimensions Awards Gala will introduce the craftspeople whose work have been selected for the Dimensions 2019 exhibition and will announce the winners of several awards, including the Dimensions Award for the Outstanding Entry. The evening will begin at the Broadway Theatre with cocktails at 6PM, followed by the Awards Gala at 7PM. Join us at a reception (8:30PM) at the Saskatchewan Craft Council Gallery (813 Broadway Avenue) following the Awards Gala to view the exhibition.

Dimensions is one of only a few open, juried exhibitions where the jurors select from the physical pieces rather than from photographs of works, allowing for a more nuanced and considerate selection. Every two years all Saskatchewan craftspeople are eligible to submit up to two hand-crafted items. Two experienced jurors are tasked with selecting the pieces for the exhibition, as well as deciding which pieces merit the many available awards. This exhibition was juried by Felicia Gay, Saskatoon, SK, and Kye-Yeon Son, Halifax, NS. The ongoing success of Dimensions depends upon the generous support of a number of organizations including the City of Saskatoon and Creative Saskatchewan. The award sponsors also make a substantial contribution to Dimensions, each focusing on a different quality or media of contemporary craft. The SCC acknowledges the contributions of these sponsors and greatly appreciates their ongoing commitment.
