Additional Information

Make a Mark: Happy Place celebrates community joy and passion. The participants in the art project are a mix of youth from Ranch Ehrlo’s Schaller Education Centre, youth from various public schools around Regina, and youth and adults from Ranch Ehrlo’s vocational programs who have differing abilities. Youth can make their mark and showcase their artwork to the public thanks to a partnership with Dunlop Art Gallery/Regina Public Library. Dustin Ritter, art facilitator at Ranch Ehrlo, will provide a brief statement explaining the exhibit and its origins. Dustin, along with two adult Ranch Ehrlo participants, and RPL representatives will be available to answer media questions.

“The style of art focuses on pointillism, and drip and drag techniques so participants at every skill level can be involved. Even if they think they can't paint they can still literally make a mark,” explained Dustin Ritter, art facilitator at Ranch Ehrlo.

"Dunlop Art Gallery is excited to continue its partnership with Ranch Ehrlo Society. It’s a wonderful opportunity for community members to come together, discover, and learn about the power of art," said Sarah Pitman, arts educator, Dunlop Art Gallery.
