Meet Your Instructor:
Dustin Ritter has been the Art Facilitator at Ranch Ehrlo and Paper Crane Community Art Center since 2020. In that time he has worked with at-risk participants of all ages, backgrounds and levels of development. Participants have been given the opportunity to be involved in group art projects such as painting indoor and outdoor murals and art exhibits (RPL: Make A Mark Exhibit) featuring collaborative and individual work. They've also created large collaborative canvas projects that have been put on display around Saskatchewan. Dustin is a visually impaired artist which helps him empathize and plan programming for other differently abled people and create projects that are inclusive to everyone. Dustin began drawing at a young age and started doing professional portraits for therapeutic purposes in 2018. He has commissioned over 500 projects to date and instructs art sessions at Regina Public Library and Black Dog Art Supply.
