Workshop Tour Thanks!

/in , /by

We got a very nice surprise in the mail the other day from the students of Punnichy Elementary. We were in the school in mid-October for the Workshop Tour, and it was a real pleasure to meet the next generation of budding artists.

You brightened our day, students! Thanks for the thank-you cards.

The Workshop Tour goes through Saskatchewan every fall, bringing a troupe of five artists to schools in small and rural communities. They do a full day of workshops with students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Interested in knowing more? Email us.

Instruments Needed for Stanley Mission Project

/in , , /by

Have a guitar you’d be willing to donate to a good cause? Then we’re looking for you!

In early 2019, the Saskatchewan Cultural Exchange will be sending guitarist, banjo player, and singer-songwriter Eliza Mary Doyle to Stanley Mission, SK for a residency. While there, she’ll be teaching youth and teachers how to play.

What do we need from you? We’re looking to send up a variety of musical instruments for Doyle to teach with, and we’re asking you to help us out.

If you’ve got a stringed instrument that can be strummed or picked, harmonicas, or percussive instruments that you’d like to see go to a good cause, this is the one. Get in touch with us at outreach@culturalexchange.ca or give us a call at (306) 780-9494.

You can find a full list of the supplies we’re looking for here.
