The Library is home for a little while to Wendy Weseen’s art exhibition “Obsolete Spaces”. “In this exhibition, Weseen explores the abandonment and decay of homes and buildings in rural Saskatchewan” through three-dimensional art boxes. The collection has generated interest because of the amazing detail and depth captured. This collection has been brought in by the Shellbrook Art Council and it is the first to be displayed on the new clipboard gallery installed by the Council in April. Weseen’s exhibition is touring through the Organization of Saskatchewan 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.
