SCC Gallery + Shop are open today from 11 am to 5 pm! Stop by to view our current exhibition Roadside Series: A Saskatchewan Printmaking Story. We’ve even added a fun activity for kiddos! #yxe #saskatoon #broadwayyxe

A screenshot of an Instagram story. The photo shows woodcut blocks on a white plinth in an art gallery. The text reads: “ Here's a fun activity in SCC Gallery! THESE ARE PRINTING BLOCKS They were used to make many of the prints in this exhibition. Take a block and see if you can match it up to a cloud on the prints. When prints are made from a block, they are MIRRORED. So when you look for a cloud shape, remember that it will be reversed! Hint: sometimes a cloud shape will be inside of another cloud.”
