The Healing Power of Art
In the presence of art, we may experience inspiration, wonder, and even hope; it can spark our imagination, creativity, and thinking. Our internal awareness and capacity for transformation can expand through experiences with art.
When in front of an artwork, we are connected to the artist and to others who have experienced it. And connection, to ourselves and others, is at the core of art and healing.
Healing isn’t a destination with a fixed timeline or endpoint but rather a path, or many paths. Just like each visit with a favorite work of art is a new experience with new insights, healing is a journey with possibilities stretching out in all directions.

Saskatoon Potters Guild Group Exhibition
PLAYFUL CONNECTIONS
In this group exhibition Guild Members are showcasing works from their 2026 juried exhibition. The juror was Maia Stark, Saskatoon.
The following statement guided Members as they created their work:
Clay bridges many dualities, often balancing between wet and dry, heavy and delicate, function and aesthetic form. Guided by the basic elements and principles of design, potters must navigate these intersections with curiosity.
The artist playfully pushes boundaries of connection to reveal dynamic relationships between form and space; presence and absence; stillness and rhythm.
This exhibition celebrates the joy, tensions and harmony from imaginative explorations of playful connections.
The exhibition displays ceramic works: from functional to sculptural; shiny to matte to crystalline finishes; electric to wood fired; single to multiple colours; and a variety of decorative techniques.
NOTE: Works are not for sale until their exhibition time is completed. If you are interested in a piece, email us and we will connect you to the artist. spg.exhibition@gmail.com
