Tiny Stories is a concept of weaving your stories amidst a beautiful fairyland.
This exhibition is an idea brought together by Tonia Vermette, the visionary, with two of the most talented artists in town, Shannon Erickson and Twila Napoleoni.
In this exhibition there are two steps:
1) Where the artist Twila Napoleoni facilitates a workshop for making fairy houses.
2) Where artist Shannon Erickson facilitates a photography workshop where kids can take pictures of the atrium and toys in the fairyland! We already have our fairyland set with these beautiful fairy houses.
Bring your Lego toys, or any other toys which are Lego toy size.
Install them in the atrium.
Now, does it look like your small toys are in a fairyland?
Snap pictures of the toys in the atrium. Tadaa-your story is ready!
Share your tiny story on social media. Tag the Godfrey Dean Gallery, Yorkton Public Library and Yorkton Arts Council!
