SUNFLOWER
Since it's beginning in 1979 on the grounds of the old Victoria School, former home of the Yorkton Arts Centre, Sunflower has taken root and continues to bloom! Countless artists and artisans, from here, near, and beyond have shared their wares with an appreciative audience of fans. Dedicated volunteers donate their time, energy and innovative ideas to organize and present this fine art
craft market annually, under the direction of the Yorkton Arts Council, in support of our community programming. Sunflower's reputation as a quality show is well-deserved; Seasoned exhibitors, Zach Dietrich and Wendy Parsons of Moose Jaw, have been part of Sunflower since its inception over three decades ago. They've seen it change from an outdoor day-long juried event to a two-day smorgasboard at the Gallagher Centre with over 150 artistic vendors. Exhibitors are added each year to our list of favorites, with new offerings always available to delight and tantalize. This year's marketers will offer pottery, photography, fibre arts, paintings, jewellery, specialty foods, metal work, home and garden décor, kids stuff, recycled products and more! Loads of free parking, tasty food on tap, amazing raffle baskets and a festive spirit of fun...who can resist joining in this celebration of creativity!
