Sask Arts Board Ongoing Call for Board Members

Oct 5, 2021 | 10:42 AM

SK Arts is seeking nominations for our Board of Directors on an ongoing basis. We will keep applications on file to fill openings as they become available.

SK Arts is a Crown Agency that provides grants, programs, and services to individuals and groups whose activities have an impact on the arts in Saskatchewan and ensures that opportunities exist for Saskatchewan residents to experience all art forms.

We are seeking two types of nominees:

• Professional artists or arts professionals who would serve as representatives from the arts community.
• General members, particularly arts supporters and volunteers as well as business professionals, who may have skills beneficial to the Board.

Under The Arts Board Act, 1997, four positions on the Board are for representatives from the arts community; these are traditionally filled by professional artists and/or arts professionals. Since SK Arts does not always receive much advance notice before the Government requires name submissions, it is helpful to have an ongoing, open list of potential nominees to make this process more effective.

SK Arts has no direct control over nominations for general members, but the Minister often asks what particular skills are needed on the Board prior to making the appointment, and we may have opportunity to suggest specific people.

Board appointments happen on an irregular basis, so you may not receive an immediate follow-up, though we will send an email acknowledging your nomination. We will also contact everyone annually to confirm that you want to remain on the list and to provide you an opportunity to update your contact information or resumé.

Board members are appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council for a two-year term. In accordance with The Arts Board Act, 1997, one-third the members of the Board shall be appointed from a list of nominees provided by the arts community.

You may nominate yourself or be nominated by others. Short-listed candidates must agree to a Criminal Record Check. Please note: having a criminal record does not necessarily exclude someone from serving on the Board. An expression of interest form is below. Please contact us with any questions: (306) 787-4056 (Regina), 1-800-667-7526 (Toll-Free), or nominations@sk-arts.ca.
