So many artists! So much to see!
At Little Manitou Art Gallery “Inspiring Art” means two things: we sell the art you love and we encourage you to create.
Located in Treaty 4 Territory, on the North shore of Little Manitou Lake, in the Resort Village of Manitou Beach, Sask, Little Manitou Art Gallery is a welcoming, creative hub which is owned and operated by Sarah McKen. When you arrive, be ready for a little adventure! Have fun exploring this unique property, take in live music performances, join hands-on ARTivities and sit down for a Saskatchewan brewed beer or glass of wine.
Discover artwork by over 250 Saskatchewan artists displayed for sale in five pavilion galleries along the paths of the spiral garden, which also features larger works of art.
Little Manitou Art Gallery is open year-round.
Throughout the summer, you are greeted by a variety of guest artists in pop-up venues around the yard; musicians and performing artists share from the outdoor stage; and children are always invited to run and play “count the artwork in the garden” before they choose a free gift from the old treasure box.
During the winter and early spring many people are surprised to find that the pavilion galleries are still open! Keep your jacket and boots on while you explore the open-door displays before you come into the Lounge and CheckOut to warm up. Little Manitou Art Gallery handles cross-country ski rentals for the local Rec Board and has updates about the Manitou Beach trails and skating-pond. Or come indoors for an intimate gathering in the Lounge. This newly opened space offers weekly hands-on ARTivities, licensed socials, and small group bookings.
Little Manitou Art Gallery is located at 204 Elizabeth Ave, Manitou Beach, SK. Stop in for a visit – there is always something new!

ASKO is a teaching lodge that you enter into with hesitation and humility. It is an immersive experience in which, if you bring an open heart and an open mind, you will learn to listen in a different register and come out of the lodge with a different perspective than you entered. ASKO is a coming together –a meeting of emotional and intellectual knowledge, a meeting of the heartbeat and the sound of thought travelling through space. It is a place that teaches us how to listen to the energies and forces that continually create nêhiyawak worlds in spite of and despite the noise of colonialism.
It is a storied meeting place of the drum and the rattle.
Marek Tyler is nêhiyaw and Scottish/Irish, and while his name is on the project, ASKO is a gathering place of many collaborators and advisors. In some ways, Tyler is an oskâpêwis, listening deeply to the creative forces of his relatives. He follows the guidance of his câpân (great-great-grandfather), his mom, artist, educator and Knowledge Keeper, Linda Young of Onion Lake Cree Nation, his uncle Dale Awasis and advisor Diana Steinhauer. ASKO`s community doesn`t end here, though. ASKO includes the kinetics of pow-wow dancers following the heartbeat of the big drum and embraces the choreography of prairie chickens telling the stories of the grasslands. It is the voice of the wind and the songs of the bright blue sky.
Taking this all inside, Tyler responds with ASKO, a creative offering in the form of a soundscape echoing nêhiyaw life and ways of living. ASKO foregrounds these energies, inviting the listener into a rich gathering of the nêhiyaw creative practice across time and space, generations, and forms of life.
Tyler is best known as a touring musician from Treaty 6 (SK/AB - Canada), the drummer from the Polaris short-listed and Juno nominated ind
