The fifth annual Mann Art Gallery’s Wolf Back a Beer – Beer Tasting Extravaganza is coming up!  This annual event is bringing together Black Bridge Brewery, Big Rock Brewery, and PABCO to provide you with both familiar and new, never-before-released beers. Plus, taste other beers from breweries around the world!

THE BANDS

This year’s live main entertainment will feature local bands The Goats, The O’Kraut Boys, and All Mighty Voice.

Rock Trout Café will be providing a variety of gourmet snacks to suit your tastes!

THE FUNDRAISER

The Mann Art Gallery is currently raising funds to purchase a Joe Fafard centerpiece public artwork and the first bronze sculpture of our Permanent Collection.  This unique artwork depicts a wolf standing six feet tall, nine feet long and weighing in at 1,000 pounds.  He will be placed on a stone slab adjacent to the gallery doors at the entrance of the Diefenbaker Bridge.

We are pleased to inform you that the wolf sculpture will be arriving in Prince Albert in Spring 2016!

The Artist – Joe Fafard

Born in Ste. Marthe, Saskatchewan, Joe Fafard received his BFA from the University of Manitoba and his MFA from Pennsylvania State University.  After teaching at the University of Regina from 1968 – 1974, he opened his foundry, Julienne Atelier Inc., in Pense, SK.

Joe Fafard is arguably Saskatchewan’s most well-known artist.  His achievements include the Order of Canada, the Architectural Institute of Canada Allied Arts Award, the Saskatchewan Order of Merit, the National Prix Montfort, the Lieutenant Governor’s Saskatchewan Centennial Medal for the Arts, a Saskatchewan Arts Board Lifetime Achievement Award, CTV Citizen of the Year and most recently Canada Post has chosen three of his sculptures for the Art Canada Series.
