Wildly imaginative, beautifully crafted, and uniquely appealing; CURIO features selected works from Saskatchewan art collectors.  

The Saskatchewan Craft Council is pleased to present CURIO, an exhibition of works from the private collections of Saskatchewan art collectors who have experienced the exciting energy of the longstanding Emma International Collaboration Auctions!

Every two years, artist from across the globe come to Emma to share in an experience of raw creation and open possibility.  Artists at various stages of their careers are challenged to step outside their usual art practice, to explore medium, technique and subject matter through hands-on collaboration and exciting creative exchange.

The result is intriguing one-of-a-kind pieces created by artists who may otherwise never work together.  The very best pieces are then presented for auction on-site and in Saskatoon.  The exhibition CURIO is a window into both the compelling world of art collection, as well as a tribute to past Emma collaborations and the many voices who have contributed to art and culture in Saskatchewan.  Works featured in this exhibition include woodworking, blacksmithing, jewellery making, ceramics, furniture, printmaking, glass casting, and many other techniques and media.  CURIO is curated by SCC Exhibitions and Education Coordinators Stephanie Canning and Maia Stark.
