The new pottery studio at the Spark Centre includes these two new state-of-the-art kilns, replacing the ones damaged in the flooding at Signal Hill Arts Centre last year. Some early efforts at pottery making can be seen on the shelves in the background.
Weyburn’s newest art gallery soon to open City of Weyburn curator Regan Lanning, left, pointed out features of the new art gallery space in the Credit Union Spark Centre, as she took members of the Weyburn Rotary Club on a tour recently. This gallery will have the capability of hosting national or international tours, as it is now a staffed art gallery, and it can be divided off with movable walls for more than one exhibition at a time. Upper floor windows also allow a view down to the gallery. Review Photo 2584 – Greg Nikkel
