In celebration of 50 years, the Community pARTners Gallery held a reception Sunday afternoon to display the work of 22 local artists and give the community a chance to interact with them. One young artist, Hannah Shivak had two paintings, 鈥淰intage Fog鈥� and 鈥淲inter Madness鈥� that were both met with admiration by onlookers. 鈥淚 like the simple beauty and peace of the sky,鈥� Shivak said describing聽 her first piece. On the second piece, she said: 鈥淚 found this tape technique online where you place small pieces of tape down, paint on and around it, and then rip the tape off to give your work a rough and abstract look. I think it鈥檚 important for young people to be involved with the arts to be connected with events like this, and with the help of the Internet, inspiration isn鈥檛 far.鈥� For those who were not able to make the reception, the display will be open during the Yorkton Public Library鈥檚 regular hours until February 12.
