MOOSE JAW - On July 1, Crescent Park became an extension of the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery (MJMAG) as artists from around the province assembled in support of the museum’s largest annual fundraiser and in a nod to Saskatchewan’s artists who brightened the park with inspiring samples of their work.
ParkArt has been a tradition for over 40 years and is the MJMAG’s largest and longest-running annual fundraiser. The event is described as one of Saskatchewan’s finest arts and crafts markets and features a wide selection of high quality, handmade works by local artists and artisans.
Proceeds from ParkArt support the MJMAG’s ongoing operations and the museum hopes to raise around $30,000 each year.
“It benefits us, but we also think it’s a great way… for the community to celebrate the arts in Moose Jaw,” said Jennifer McRorie, the museum's director and curator.
For more information, visit MJMAG.ca or stop by the gallery at 461 Langdon Crescent.
