Every two years, one hundred artists from across the globe come together in the boreal forest of Saskatchewan to share in an experience of raw creation and open possibility. Artists at various stages of their careers are challenged to step outside their usual art practice, to explore medium, technique and subject matter through hands on collaboration and exciting creative exchange.

I am keenly aware of the amazing dynamic and synergy

that gets generated in creative workshops when a group of aesthetically-minded people

get together.
