The Saskatchewan Arts Board will turn 60 this year, but it is far from retirement. Established in 1948, the Arts Board was the first agency of its kind in North America. It continues its pioneering work today by supporting artists, creating partnerships within our communities, and ensuring people have access to Saskatchewan art in all its forms.

This panel discussion celebrated the Saskatchewan Arts Board’s history and directions for the future.

Refreshments were served following the panel discussion.
