Watercolour Workshop with Graham Flatt
February 11, 12

Registration fee
$210 for non gallery members

This is the second visit from artist Graham Flatt, a western artist whose watercolors reflect his passion for painting.
Primarily self-taught in the areas of design and composition, Flatt has attended a variety of watercolor workshops over the years. His dedication to watercolor painting has allowed him to experience many influences which have ultimately resulted in his signature style of painting. Flatt is a bold, direct painter with an emphasis on strong design elements. Working with a limited palette, Flatt maintains a delicate balance between passion and design.

University of Saskatchewan Community Arts Program

This program leads to the 'University of Saskatchewan Certificate of Art and Design'.

The U of S is pleased and excited about how quickly the program has attracted students as well as teachers - all anxious to be

involved in the only offering of its kind in Saskatchewan! Students can currently major in one of 5 streams - painting, drawing, watercolour painting, and sculpture and photography/digital imagery. Elective courses include creative writing, contemporary song writing, glass fusion, romance writing, ceramics, illustrating and writing books, fibre arts, among many others. The U of S is proud too about the partnerships we have forged with the University of Waterloo Centre for Cultural Management, Routes to Learning Canada and the University of Alberta.

These partnerships enable our students to apply online cultural management courses, educational travel opportunities and shared classes - towards their USCAD certificate. For more information, check out the website at www.uscad.usask.ca

Creative Partnership Program

The Chapel Gallery undertook a new and unique alternative to the creation of an artist in residence program; the residency was a first of its kind in Saskatchewan. The resident artist was employed to work with up to eight regional artists in a mentorship capacity, with the intent that the artists would work together on individual career development and community development initiatives.

Ending Note

I trust you found this website enjoyable and full of opportunities.
