This project explores a variety of textile processes that women have historically advanced, such as embroidery, mending, sewing, crocheting and more recently, needle felting, through the creation of tapestries made of up-cycled textiles.
Elizabeth Babyn holds a B.F.A. (2005) from OCAD and a M.F.A. (2011) from USASK. She worked and taught as an artist in Caledon (OT) before moving to Saskatoon in 2011.

This exhibition celebrates the creative expressions of participants in the
Artists in Communities project. This year-long, City of Prince Albert project addresses the need to develop long-term arts programming in the community, outside of traditional arts spaces. At the heart of this exhibition is the belief that artistic processes provide opportunities to heal, communicate ideas and experiences, and foster a sense of belonging. This display is also a way for the community to listen to voices that we may not otherwise hear - to celebrate, grieve, reflect, and grow.
See our events calendar or Facebook page for details on all activities like Adult and Teen Crafts, Wednesday Movie Nights, Teen and Tween Writing Group, Book Club, Bring Your Babies, and Story Times! They are also hosting the Off the Cuff Family Improv Comedy Show on April 2nd and Odyssey Production’s Munsch at Play April 28 to May 1.
Check out the Book Sale Auction, and other online programming like creativebug, Hoopla and Flipster Magazines on our website too.
