NG is thrilled to have Elke and Chantel in the main gallery space for the summer and can’t wait to see how they transform the gallery! Watch out for more updates about our artists in residence! 👀 Elke Richter is an artist based in Oskana, Treaty 4 Territory, Saskatchewan, Canada. She earned an MFA in Print Media from the University of Regina in 2017, and was the Director of the Art Gallery of Regina from 2019 – 2022. She maintains a diverse practice with an emphasis on intuitive printmaking practices, painting, performance, site-specific installation, contemporary folk practices, paper-cutting, film, and sculpture with unconventional materials. Her syncretic practice explores German-Canadian post-war identity, religion, witchcraft, the occult, folk ritual, and diaspora. She is a witch | hexe of geographically muddled heritage, and is a part of the post-war east German diaspora. Chantel Schultz is an artist from the Canadian prairies currently based in Regina, Saskatchewan on Treaty 4 territory. She graduated from the University of Alberta in 2020 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art and Design. She also holds a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Visual Communications from the Medicine Hat College (2017). Recently, her drawings were on tour with TREX in an exhibit called Strange and Known Places (2021-2025). In 2021, she was selected for a long-term creative project with the Art Gallery of Regina to make work under the mentorship and in collaboration with Aganetha Dyck, selected beekeepers, and selected artists from Saskatchewan.
