First up:
Social Media and Museums
15 February at 2:00
Social
media like facebook and twitter are often touted as low-cost, effective
communications tools, but they demand a different approach than
traditional media. In this webinar, you will learn about what makes
social media different, how others are using it, and how you might apply
them in your museum work.Presented by Alec Couros, professor of educational technology and media at the University of Regina

Gladys Wozny Siemen's Shoreline
Thursday, January 26th at 7pm
Estevan Art Gallery and Museum
Artist in attendance.
Refreshments and snacks will be served.
Gladys Wozny Siemens documents the memories nature leaves behind. Through casting, she creates sculptural reliefs with gypsum cement. She effectively captures the surviving evidence of activity that can be found along the shoreline near her studio. Concerned with the state of nature in a technology-driven world, Wozny Siemens documents these mementos before they are permanently washed away.
Closing Reception
Twyla Exner's Entangled
Thursday, January 19th at 7pm
Estevan Art Gallery and Museum
Refreshments and snacks will be served.
All are welcome to attend.
"Twyla Exner is interested in the relationships between cultural and natural production, consumption and waste, high and low technology, and biological and mechanical growth. Using wires, cords, and electrical connectors, she imitates plant pods, root systems and human physiological forms, reproducing hybrids of technology and nature that appear to be growing, evolving, reforming, overtaking and/or devouring electronic infrastructures and architectural spaces."
Opening Reception
Hunter of the Prairie Sea, an exhibit of a Mosasaur (MOES-ah-SAWR) fossil from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum's collection.
Thursday, January 19 at 7pm
Refreshments and snacks will be served.
All are welcome to attend.
Come see this pre-historic sea creature that once inhabited our oceans.
Mosasaurs roamed the oceans during the Cretaceous Period. This large predatory marine reptile is closely related to modern monitor lizards and snakes. It was a dominant predator of the Western Interior Seaway, which stretched across North America. Their remains have been discovered around the world but this particular fossil was discovered near Rush Lake, Saskatchewan. This exhibition will feature a cast of the original skeletal remains along with educational and fun fact-filled information panels provided by the Royal Saskatchewan Museum.
Come out and see this extraordinary piece!

A strong use of colour and a bold painterly touch consistently charges his paintings with power and energy. This exhibition presents, in two consecutive parts, a series of large scale paintings and drawings on canvas based on the artist's travels throughout southwest Saskatchewan. This exhibition is a partner project with MJM&AG. An exhibition publication with essay and full colour imagery is available.

Until March 4, 2012
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition takes you on a journey back in time to experience the legend of Titanic like never before. The galleries in this fascinating Exhibition feature over 150 real artifacts recovered from the ocean floor along with room re-creations and personal stories; each highlighting a different chapter in the compelling story of Titanic's maiden voyage.
On April 15, 1912 RMS Titanic, the world’s largest Ship, sank after colliding with an iceberg, claiming more than 1,500 lives, and subsequently altering the world’s confidence in modern technology. Today, almost 100 years later, more than 100 legendary artifacts conserved from the Ship’s debris field will be showcased, offering visitors a poignant look at this iconic Ship and its passengers.
The Exhibition has been designed with a focus on the legendary RMS Titanic’s compelling human stories as best told through authentic artifacts and extensive room re-creations. Perfume from a maker who was traveling to New York to sell his samples, china etched with the logo of the elite White Star Line, and many other authentic objects offer haunting, emotional connections to lives abruptly ended or forever altered.
Upon entering the exhibit visitors will quickly be drawn back in time to 1912, each receiving a replica boarding pass of an actual passenger aboard Titanic. You’ll begin with a chronological journey through the life of Titanic, moving through the Ship’s construction, to life on board, to the ill-fated sinking and amazing artifact rescue efforts. You will marvel at the re-created first class cabin while learning of countless stories of heroism and humanity. Lastly, guests will take their boarding pass to the memorial wall and discover whether their passenger and traveling companions survived or perished.
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition is produced by RMS Titanic Inc. and has been seen by more than 22 million people throughout North America and Europe over the past 15 years.
