PHOTOGRAPHY SLIDESHOW
We will once again have the slideshow showing member’s photography set up in a quiet corner so visitors have a chance to relax and unwind. Join the Saskatchewan Wildlife Art Association to be included in this show.
 
GALA OPENING – Friday, Oct 26 from 7:15 – 10ish
The Gala Opening includes both live and silent auctions. The auctions are “artist friendly” which means that artists can establish a minimum bid when they bring in their work at registration Oct 25. If you have something you want to have included in the auction and if you let us know by Sept 30, we will include it in the Show Booklet and on the website. Pieces are to be brought in during registration on Oct 25 – Note: you do not have to pre=register to be included in auctions.
YOU HAVE ART – BUT DON’T WANT TO COMPETE?
Artists who do not want to compete can rent a display tower or a table for the weekend – prices start at $55
Artists can also rent a booth to display and sell their work – prices start at $150 for single booth
SUPPORT THE SHOW THROUGH SPONSORSHIPS
Help us keep this show viable by becoming a sponsor – we happily accept sponsorship with packages starting as low as $25. We will have online payment options available online by the end of this week.
SUPPORT THE SHOW BY VOLUNTEERING
