About the Exhibition

WAVE Action is awash with creativity. Artists from the WAVE Artists’ Studio Tour come together in a dynamic exhibition filled with movement, energy, and imagination. From sculpture and glass to painting, pottery, wood, jewelry, photography, and paper, each work captures action in its own way through bold gestures, shifting light, tactile process, and ideas in motion.

Marking 25 years of WAVE, the exhibition reflects on the many artists, stories, and connections that have shaped this creative community in Manitoba’s Interlake region. Together, the works offer a vivid and varied look at art in motion.

Workshop

Sustainable Action: The Gourd Reimagined
Eco-Friendly Mushroom Sculpture
with Jerry Maryniuk

Saturday, April 25, 2026
1:00 PM to 3:00 PM

Registration opening soon

​

Turn a home-grown gourd into a whimsical mushroom sculpture in this hands-on workshop celebrating ecological making and creative action.

​

Participants will create a sculptural mushroom using dried gourds cultivated and prepared by the artist. Guided step by step, you will select from a range of naturally grown forms, cut and assemble the gourd shapes, glue components, and refine your piece using simple finishing techniques. Each sculpture will be mounted on a base cut from pruned local tree limbs, with materials thoughtfully sourced from seasonal garden maintenance and repurposed into art.

​

Working entirely with renewable, home-grown materials, this workshop offers a creative approach rooted in care, stewardship, and low-waste making. All tools and materials are provided.

At the end of the session, you will take home your completed mushroom sculpture, approximately 25 to 30 cm high.
