THE ARTISTS: ALISON NORLEN is an artist widely respected, nationally and internationally, for her large-scale drawings and sculptural installations. Her work is set apart by its intricate detail and grand scale. She is fascinated by cultural artifice, often focusing her work around subjects like theme parks, circuses, carnival celebrations, roadside attractions and other sites of cultural spectacle. Her work is held in many private and public collections. She lives and works in Saskatoon, where she is a Professor of painting and drawing at the University of Saskatchewan.
BREANNE BANDUR is an artist rooted in drawing. Her approach to the practice and medium is experiential, embodied, and deeply tied to process. For Bandur, drawing takes place both within and outside of herself. Intuition is central to this engagement. She considers the act of mark making as it relates to inner thought and feeling, considering how marks on a surface give physical form to immaterial thoughts, feelings, and impulses. Drawing materialize the intangible, becoming a path to understanding, and ultimately, a way to make sense of the world.
EMILY ZDUNICH is an interdisciplinary artist, and community art facilitator, of European settler descent with Ukrainian and Croatian ancestry. She has developed a figurative practice in painting, drawing and installation sculpture. She investigates the concept of the body in relationship to others and self. Her focus is on the human condition and explorating connections between the physical body and the emotional body.
FIJI ROBINSON is a Saskatoon artist with a background in communications and documentary, who now works primarily in photography and installation. She has a strong interest in social and environmental justice. Her current project, which she will be working on during Open Studio, imagines the River Souls, a community of mythical creatures that project the river and river valley.
KELSEY FORD is a Canadian artist and printmaker working out of Saskatoon. She received her B.F.A. with a minor in French from the University of Saskatchewan in 2019. She works primarily in serigraphy, but also enjoys working with textiles to create mixed media pieces and larger installations. Her work often incorporates repurposed or used materials with more modern mediums through collage techniques. By combining traditional and moern structures, she hopes to draw new parallels and comparisons between past and present.
LAUREN WARRINGTON is a Saskatoon-based artist who received her Bachelor of Fine Arts High Honours from the University of Saskatchewan in 2019. Her practice revolves around the interplay of physical and virtual environments, incorporating printmaking, sculpture, digital animation, and virtual reality. Through her work, Lauren explores conventions associated with race, femininity, and how identity develops in an era dependent on technology.
LEANNE MUNCHINSKY is a multi-disciplinary artist from Saskatoon. She holds a B.F.A. and BEd from the University of Saskatchewan. With a deep-rooted curiosity, her art practice centres around learning, experimenting, and evolving. She enjoys facilitating workshops, creating art, volunteering in her community, and collaborating with other artists. Her subject matter is diverse, including portraiture, still-life, and landscape. The main theme in her current work centers around subject matter that inspires feeling during a time of general global distress.

American Impressionism exhibit, play examining police violence among upcoming GRAM events
GRAND RAPIDS, MI — The Grand Rapids Art Museum is hosting two events later this month.
“In A New Light: American Impressionism 1870-1940,” runs from June 11-Aug. 27.” The GRAM describes it as a “the first major exhibition of American Impressionism” at the museum in over a decade.” It features “groundbreaking paintings, prints, and drawings from acclaimed artists such as George Inness, Lilla Cabot Perry, Childe Hassam, Thomas Moran, John Sloan, Theresa Bernstein, Ernest Lawson, and Guy Carleton Wiggins, among others.”
“This comprehensive exhibition of American Impressionism traces the emergence and evolution of a truly American style of art,” according to an event announcement.
Another event this month is “SHEEPDOG,” a one-act play by Kevin Artigue being held June 16-18 as part of this year’s West Michigan Loving Day Celebration.
An announcement describes the play in the following way: “This one-act play follows Amina and Ryan, both officers on the Cleveland police force. Amina is Black, Ryan is white, and they are falling deeply and passionately in love. When an officer-involved shooting roils the department, small cracks in their relationship widen into a chasm of confusion and self-doubt. A mystery and a love story with high stakes and no easy answers, SHEEPDOG fearlessly examines police violence, interracial love, and class in the 21st century.”
The play is presented by Ebony Road Players, a Grand Rapids theater company “whose mission is to inspire, educate and engage the cultures of our community with high-quality theater productions focused on the Black experience.”

DU students hail return of open mic events: Safe spaces to exhibit talent
Calling all singers, rappers, beatboxers, poets, instrumentalists, mimics and comedians to come and take to the stage — Delhi University’s young performers couldn’t wait to hear announcements like these, after two long years of being in the virtual space due to the pandemic. As open mic events, where one can display their talent in front of an audience, return to DU’s campus, budding performers share how much they love the freedom it gives them!
Aayush Goel, a third-year student of Business Economics at Shivaji College, recently gave voice to his poems at an open mic organised by the college’s Enactus team. Elated to find a platform, he says: “When the Covid-19 situation got normal, I was determined to perform. I never realised before my first [physical] performance how good it felt when audience praises you for your work. That feeling, when someone cries after listening to you because they relate to your story or the thought moved them, is spellbinding.” Goel adds that open mics are “really a safe and easy space where one can just present what one thinks”.
For Anushka Raj Sonkar, a second-year student of Bachelor of Business Administration at Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, performing at an open mic came as a chance to dust off her singing skills. She shares, “I’m a trained singer. Even though I’m out of practice now, I’m excited to perform and entertain everyone. It’s going to be just Bollywood songs.”
Feeling lucky to be back in time for the last leg of fest season, before he graduates and enters a different world, is Pratham Naman. A talented singer, who is pursuing BCom (Hons) at Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College, he shares his excitement to be a part of the event, aptly named Mic Drop 4.0! “It used to be a prolific experience back when I was in my first year. It’s a platform where artists can express their art in its true form. The crowd motivates us to give our best,” says Naman.
