Kathy Thiessen Art Gallery, Station Arts Centre

The Kathy Thiessen Art Gallery was named in honour of it’s 25-year administrator, Kathy Thiessen. A core group of founding members began working with Thiessen in 1986 to make the dream of a community centre for the arts a reality.  Thiessen retired in 2010 and continues to enjoy supporting the Station Arts Centre through volunteering, attending concerts, and special events. The home of the Station Arts Centre is a renovated CN Railway Station in Rosthern, Saskatchewan serving as an art gallery, gathering or meeting space, craft beer and coffee bar, and live music venue. The Station Arts Centre is at the heart of the cultural and artistic life of the region. A model for a multi-disciplinary regional art centre, it provides a year-round focus for innovative experiences in the arts that attract attention from across Canada. The Station Arts Centre offers new creative opportunities for residents while engaging tourists in the unique culture of the community, including cuisine and living heritage. An indispensable part of the immediate community, the Station Arts Centre is valued for its contribution to the economy, the education of people and the overall quality of life. The Station Arts Centre is a place to gather, celebrate, and build community.
