When Covid-19 stopped regular business in its tracks in the spring of 2020, we wanted a way to continue being involved with the community. Although the gallery was closed, our members began demonstrating their artistic practice in our front gallery windows, where they could be seen by members of the public.
We have chosen to continue the Artist in the Window program so that Yukoners and visitors are able to engage with us as we work.
Almost every week a different artist member of Yukon Artists at Work demonstrates their artistic practice in our front gallery window. There are also displays of their work for you to enjoy. Whether you feel comfortable inside or outside, we’re happy to have you!
Guest Artist
The Guest Artist for April is jewellery maker, Sophie Mutlu. Do drop by to view her exquisite pieces.
Artist in the Window for April 2025
April 8-10: Leslie Leong says she is exploring ice, in its many forms. From permafrost (an oxymoron in our climate forecast), to glaciers, sea ice, ice packs, ice sheets & ice flows, and our regular seasonal ice; what’s not to like about ice?
April 15 and 16: Janet Patterson will make a small scale model of a human-sized plastic-skinned creature she plans to create for a future project.
April 18 and 19: Pat Bragg will be working with some beautiful lynx fur to create wearable art. She has learned some new cutting techniques which control the direction of the fur, making the pieces have a different look to them.
April 25 and 26: Linda Leon will be making monster puppets with found objects.
Artist in the Window for May 2025
May 1: Doug Rutherford will be painting watercolour landscapes for an upcoming exhibit.
