Summer of Arts Heats Up the Southwest


Arts events abound during the summer in the Eastend area. There will continuously be ex-
citing exhibits and workshops to appeal to all ages. Currently, Cypress Gallery is featuring
work by Virginia Boulay, David Shkolny and Trea Jensen. Boulay’s fine graphic statements
are rooted in Southwest Saskatchewan. They are bold and filled with the undulant feeling
that she is famous for. Shkolny is a new artist to the area but his passion for clouds speaks
of love for the huge, open skies that are a signature of the Southwest. He works in soft pas-
tels which give a malleable quality to his clouds that makes you feel they are continuously
changing. Trea Jensen is showcasing new large portraits of earthy goddesses that happily
radiate warmth and contentment. Emerging artist, Bronwyn Schuster, is also exhibiting fresh
and interesting work.
What a buy!! Silver Willow Gallery will continue the show of Marg Wiebe’s photography and watercol-
Clean, well kept this 4 bedroom ours until the end of the month. At Robsart Art Works paintings by Virginia Boulay, Gerry
bungalow is the ideal family home. Oliver and Geoff Phillips as well as photography by Wayne Inverarity are on display.

MLS# 351778 We benefit from having talented artists in the area over the summer as they enrich our com-
www.REALTOR.ca munities by sharing their skills and interests with us. Award-winning writer, Candace Sav-
age just completed a writing workshop at Old Man on His Back. David Shkolny will be pre-
senting two 1-day pastel workshops at Fort Walsh on July 24th and 25th. Fortunately for us,
he will also present a pastel workshop at the T.rex Discovery Centre on July 26th. These are
professionals at the top of their careers who are drawn to the Southwest because of its varied
and rich texture of light, pattern, scope and history. Through galleries and Stegner House
their work continues to attract other people to explore the wealth of material that we have to
offer. It is an industry unto itself that has growing economic impact on Eastend.
Great July Films!!! This rising tide of artistic interest is also complimentary to the natural sciences and works
well in conjunction with the T.rex Discovery Centre. Art and science have historically pro-

relationship by providing both visual structure and understanding of our environment. They

Friday, 23rd have built a reputation for fine product based squarely on the resources of the land. Their
Daybreakers presence continues to bring economic benefit to our town.
When people move to the Southwest Saskatchewan area it is in large part because of its

beauty. Artists who come to work or reside here do much to promote the appeal of living
Juno here. They are another important part of what makes us unique. Economic benefit and the
Friday, 30th Arts prove to be good working partners in Eastend. JK

Dino Days Parade
Summer of Fun in Eastend
Dachshunds, dinosaurs, pirates, and Riders fans celebrated sunny Dino Days in Eastend on July 17th. with creative
floats, antique trucks, spectacular Cadillacs, western riders and mini vehicles of every description. Everyone was a
kid again when the parade passed by.
Very few large cities can rival the fireworks display that is the one of the noted features of Dino Days. This year
was no exception and provided an awesome evening’s experience. Delays due to winds just made the anticipation
that much greater and no one was disappointed by the scale of the display.
Ted Gleim urged us all out to the pancake breakfast early Saturday morning and the weekend began to unroll a se-
ries of events that everyone could enjoy. Hot dogs, pool activities and kite flying kept people busy while a serious
tournament began at Streambank Golf Course. Down by the Docks performed for children at the Library and a beer
garden ran all day at the Rink Complex. A great range of events that filled a hot summer day with memorable fun.

See pages 4 and 6 of www.eastend.blogspot.com for full colour photos of the parade.
