About the Exhibition The Winter Festival Art Show & Sale is the premier art event of northern Saskatchewan. In this exhibition hundreds of artworks by emerging and professional artists from across the province are shown at the Mann Art Gallery. Each year, a guest arts professional curates the exhibition and designates awards that are sponsored by local businesses and organizations. The exhibition is unveiled and awards are presented at an opening gala reception, followed the next day by an in-depth curatorial talk and walkthrough. Now entering its 42^nd year, the Winter Festival exhibition is a well-regarded tradition that reflects an incredible level of artistic production in our community.

The Process All Saskatchewan artists who are members of the Mann Art Gallery are invited to participate in this exhibition. (See Eligibility and Entry Instructions for details.) The artwork is dropped off at the gallery in late January. Over the subsequent two weeks, artworks are curated into our three gallery spaces by an independent guest curator. Past curators include Sandra Fraser, Grant McConnell, and Zachari Logan. Everyone who enters is guaranteed inclusion, so long as the artworks have been created within the last two years, have not been previously exhibited at the Mann Art Gallery, and follow the size and hanging hardware guidelines.
