Lobstick Decoration with Leah Dorion and Ashley Smith
Join us to watch Métis artists Leah Dorion and Ashley Smith decorate a contemporary, temporary lobstick at the Mann Art Gallery as part of the 2021 Métis Mentorship Project - Summer Art Installations.
The public is invited to watch the artists use woodburning, mosaic, and shallow carving to decorate this 10 ft tall spruce log from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm each day.
After a break for lunch, the public can watch again, or, if space allows, adults and older teens can assist the artists in decorating from 1:00 - 3:00 pm each day.
The lobstick will be installed and artists will be in attendance to discuss the project on Tuesday, August 17 at the Mann Art Gallery at 1:00 pm. The lobstick will be on display throughout September.

About the Project:
The Mann Art Gallery is pleased to announce the three artworks of the Intergenerational Métis Mentorship Project – Summer Art Installations 2021.
This project reprises last summer’s artist residency with well-known local Métis artist Leah Dorian. This year, she is mentoring emerging Métis cultural educator and artist Ashley Smith. The three public art installations will create highly visible, accessible, and educational contemporary Métis art in public spaces in the city, celebrating Métis culture and teaching traditional values and techniques. This is a way to temporarily “Indigenize” our public spaces surrounding the Mann Art Gallery / E.A. Rawlinson Centre using natural and traditional materials in an engaging way.
Sponsors:
This project is generously funded by Saskatchewan Lotteries through the SaskCulture Aboriginal Arts and Culture Leadership Grant (AACL), the Community Initiatives Fund, the City of Prince Albert and Area Community Grant Program, and the City of Prince Albert.
