The Humboldt & District Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Frank & Victor Cicansky: Keep on Going exhibit on March 3rd, 2023.

“Keep on going” was a common phrase of Frank Cicansky. It spoke of his sheer determination to persevere through life’s many challenges. Frank’s determination, strong work ethic, love for making things and a deep connection to the land, were values that he passed on to his children.

This exhibition features the paintings, sculptures and craft objects by folk artist, Frank Cicansky, with ceramics and sculptural work of his son, internationally renowned artist, Victor Cicansky. Together these works reflect a sincere and compelling response to place, offering immigrant narratives of first and second-generation settler Canadians in southern Saskatchewan, while also exploring the influential connections between our province’s folk art and funk art genres.

This exhibit was curated and organized by the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery with funding assistance from the City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan Arts Board, SaskCulture, Saskatchewan Lotteries, and the Canada Council for the Arts. It has toured through OSAC’s Arts on the Move program and is brought to our community by the Humboldt Area Arts Council.

The exhibit will be on display until March 23, 2023.

Visit the Gallery Tuesday – Saturday: 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
