Wahkotowin gallery about raising up voices of city’s youth
A new walking art gallery installed at the South Hill Mall is celebrating the work of students.
The gallery launched last weekend with the work of three Carlton students, all part of the Carlton Collection Builders Program at the school.
Teacher Melanie Mirasty says there are three walking galleries, which will showcase new art from students across the city each month.
The first three collections were painted by Jaylee Kachor-Engen, Oceanna Fisher-James and Tynisha McKay.
Kachor-Engen’s work depicts medicine wheels from across North America that are slowly eroding.

A nondescript bungalow in Prince Albert’s east end may be home to one of the city’s most concerted efforts to help the homeless, cold and hungry since the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
Inside, a hive of activity sees dozens of quilts produced every year as fabric, filling, tools and supplies stretch from floor to ceiling.
Everything made here will go to those in the city who need it the most, and it won’t cost them a cent.
Since 2012, the makeshift quilting factory has produced hundreds of quilts, donated to homeless shelters, emergency shelters and even care homes.
It’s what the Prince Albert and District Chamber of Commerce calls the Grammys of the local business scene. While the pandemic played a major role in postponing the event last April, all will be revealed Thursday night when they celebrate the 2020 Samuel McLeod Business Awards (SMBA).
Not surprisingly, things will be very different for this, the 30th edition, of the popular show, which will happen with a much reduced human presence on the E.A. Rawlinson Centre stage, starting at 6:45 p.m. on the chamber’s YouTube channel. Up to 30 people only will be present in line with COVID protocols.
