“Creatures from Sky to Sea” Fills Art Wall

Librarian Alanna Carswell stands in front of a section of the Shellbrook Art Council sponsored Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils’ touring exhibition featuring the fabric sculptures by artists Joseph Anderson and Lissa Robinson.

The Shellbrook Public Library invites you to come see the art on display and join us for an exciting encore Travel Night to the African country of Namibia in the middle of September.

The Library is home for a little while to Joseph Anderson and Lissa Robinson exhibition “Creatures from Sky to Sea,” brought in by the Shellbrook Art Council who “have created a lineage of fabric sculptures that allude to fantastical beings from sky to sea. These mixed-media textile sculptures vacillate between playful, childlike objects and ominous beings.” Anderson and Robinson’s exhibition is touring through the Organization of Saskatchewan’s Arts Councils’ (OSAC) “Arts on the Move” program. The aim of OSAC is to provide quality exhibitions to communities that will enhance awareness and appreciation of Saskatchewan and Canadian artists.

We are looking forward to a repeat Travel Night exploring Namibia, a young African country with an ancient desert, on Wednesday, September 17th at 7:00 pm. Journey with Nancy Carswell as she provides an “armchair” tour of the beautiful Namib Desert, believed to be the oldest on Earth, and the exciting Etosha National Park, possibly the best place in Africa to view wildlife. Carswell will also share her experience of a traditional wedding in northern Namibia close to the Angola border. Tastes of Africa will be included in the refreshments.
