The Saskatchewan Craft Council says the Dimensions Awards were virtual this year because of the pandemic but the 2021 Awards for Excellence in Saskatchewan Craft were presented on Tuesday. Dimensions is the Saskatchewan Craft Council’s touring, juried, exhibition which features contemporary craft. It is open to all Saskatchewan craftspeople and 83 artists submitted 130 pieces to the jurors. The 35 craft pieces are on display at the Saskatchewan Craft Council Gallery until August 28th in Saskatoon.
