The arts can be a common thread that will draw people together, and it can take on even deeper meaning at Gateway Resources. For the organization working with adults with in- tellectual disabilities, making connections with the community is a vital aspect of what they aim to do. “It’s important to build a relationship with the community,” said Alesha Hildebrand, community learning manager, as Gateway held its annual art show Friday afternoon in Winkler. “This shows the community that our individuals here are very talented, and they have a lot to offer the community.” PHOTOS BY LORNE STELMACH/VOICE Ashley Poetker was the artists proud to show off Ashley Poetker displays some of her paintings, while Eric Hornung was also proud to show off her work. his handcrafted pirate hat. She likes to do what she described as realistic paintings, which might show places like where she used to live or her pets. Poetker said she is not as good at doing people but is trying to learn, and it is work- ing with the colours “IT’S IMPORTANT that seems to drive her artistic endeavours.

She likes to do art and be part of the show just because it’s fun, and she gets to try doing different things “I feel good about it. I like when people come and look at my art,” she said. “I have art but usually I hide my art ... when I make things, I like people to see how good I am at doing art.” Now in its sixth year, the art show does show a lot of hidden talent, said Hildebrand, noting there was a lot of varied work on display from paintings to sculptures. “We found there was lots of talent ... and we want- ed to showcase that to our community,” said Hil- debrand. “Everybody has a hidden talent,” she said. “This just allows them to share what their talents are ... what they love to do ... and also just shows different Community residents were also welcome to tour the sixth annual art show at Gateway forms of art.” Resources Friday.
