Local artists celebrate 10 years on Spirit of Manitou Trail Gaudet has been keeping busy himself but with larger projects, especially with a mural just recently unveiled in Young and a recent commission from the Tisdale area. Artists do not exactly sell a lot of their work on the tour but with the amount of people who come out to see the artwork, it is a good way to showcase their work, says Ambrose. “It’s like a gallery visit in the city. You are seeing what’s out there and seeing the countryside. That’s the way to get out of the big cities.” Ambrose says there is plenty of support from both the city and the rural areas with a fair balance between them in terms of visitors to the trail. The 11th annual Spirit of Manitou Studio Trail is already in the calendar, says Ambrose.

It was a busy weekend for locals artists in the Watrous area as they opened up their studios and Galleries to the public for the Spirit of Manitou Studio Tour weekend, July 8-9. Sixteen artists in many different mediums joined the trail which ran from Meacham to Watrous to Manitou Beach with some farm studios also on the trail outside of Meacham and Young. Some stops even had multiple artists featured with stops like the Little Manitou Art Gallery featuring around 24 different Saskatchewan artists. Toni Ambrose says it is hard to believe that the tour has been going on for 10 years with a basic core group of artists sticking with the tour for that time. “Otherwise, some come in and go out.
