Welcome to the Moose Jaw Art Guild

2009-10-14T15:32:00.085-06:00

We are a diverse group of artists that live in and around Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. Located in the Canadian prairies, Moose Jaw has had a long rich history of artists coming together to share their creative interests and artistic endeavors. Today our membership represents a range of ages, interests and skills brought together by a common desire to share, exhibit, educate and foster appreciation for visual arts in our community.

Here you will find an overview of our organization, links to member’s sites as well as links to sites in our local art community.
Enjoy your exploration and leave comments, or for more information contact us at mjartguild@hotmail.com

Mission Statement

In 1957 the following points were established in the Guild’s Constitution as the basis and goals of the Guild. These timeless objectives are still the guiding ideals of the Guild.

~*~

1. To encourage appreciation of and originality in Art
2. To draw together those interested in the pursuance of
    Art
3. To affiliate with any active group if by doing so, we
    may broaden our opportunities.
4. In general to bring a greater awareness and
    knowledge of Art and an application of
    this knowledge.

Who is membership for?

Membership is open to everyone - whatever visual art form captures your interest. Whether you are just taking tentative steps to express yourself creatively or you are an established artist our membership is for beginners, novices, dabblers, hobbyists, emerging artist and established professional artist. Our member’s skill levels ranges from modest to capable to expert. Creating art might be an occasional pastime, a routine joy or an all consuming passion. Our common bond is an appreciation of art and a desire to express ourselves creatively.

Scholarships

The Moose Jaw Art Guild is pleased to offer a scholarship to one grade 9 student in each of our local high schools. The criteria are not based on or limited to scholastic standings, artistic accomplishment or post-secondary goals. It is our hope that it will be utilized to encourage a deserving student to continue to develop and explore their creative talents.
The art teacher in each school chooses which deserving student is to receive the $50.00 scholarship.

2010 Scholarship Award recipients

(listed in June)

- Cornerstone Christian School

- Peacock Collegiate

- Riverview Collegiate

- Vanier Collegiate
- Central Collegiate

In 2010 we sponsored a Logo Contest for local High School students. The response was wonderful and shows what talented artist they are! We congratulate all of them on the originality of their work and the creative thought that went into the designs. We awarded prizes for Original Art and Original Thought.
