Members of CAR- FAC can expect that their rights and interests will be protected because the organization has staff and a board that is comprised of many artists and individuals involved within the arts & culture sector. We pride ourselves on representation, inclusion, diversity, and integrity. As the president I have felt nothing but support from CARFAC and it is my pleasure to continue that legacy and give my voice to our arts community. It is an understatement to say this year has been chaotic and unpredictable, as we approach our first virtual AGM we can see how our organization has adapted to the social and cultural impacts of this year. It was much to my disappointment that our CARFAC National AGM & Conference in May was cancelled this year but c’est la vie. Come next year we’ll hopefully be meeting in person and cracking puns about how hindsight is 2020. We have seen how adapting to the digital era has been helpful in managing our operations. We’ve had to delay and postpone workshops due to COVID. The CARFAC SASK staff members have done amazing to continue to serve our community and offer digital content, such as Webinars during this time of turbulence. The board and staff have also held many meetings digitally, so we are continuing to review policies and programs to best serve our members, sidenote: please make sure your complete your membership survey to ensure your voice is heard. This year we have also offered an Artists' Emergency Relief Fund to help those struggling during the global pan- demic. We are proud to announce that we have paid out $21,000 to artists in need across Saskatchewan. Wendy Nelson Regina Executive Director The board and staff are always discussing expanding awareness of CARFAC, expanding our audience and increas- Terri Fidelak Regina Program & Outreach Director ing our membership. We are committed to representing artists and we’d do our best to adapt to changes and offer artists what they need to be successful. Grant Dutnall Saskatoon Membership Coordinator Jeff Morton Kennedy Newsletter Editor To be a member of CARFAC Saskatchewan means that you support local Saskatchewan artists, so thank you, your Jessica Riess Regina Communications Coordinator memberships is appreciated. If you’re reading this and you’re not a CARFAC member please consider that pur- chasing a CARFAC membership as you will be protecting the rights and interests of artists, and if you are already a member maybe consider joining our board. Firstly I’d like to thank everyone for accepting me as the President, I’ve been on the board for quite some time and it is an honour to serve our creative community. Secondly I’d like to thank the staff for listening to the board and working hard to operate this integral organiza- tion; Wendy Nelson - Executive Director, Terri Fidelak - Program & Outreach Director, Grant Dutnall - Member- ship Coordinator, Jeff Morton - Newsletter Editor, & Jessica Reiss - Communications Coordinator. I’d also like to thank the other board members for the excellent contributions and lending of voices and perspec- tives; C. Alejandro Romero - Past President, Vincent Houghtaling - Vice President, Lindsay Arnold, Muveddet Al-Katib, Gabriela Garcia-Luna, and Sarah Timewell. Lastly, thank you to the funder

  • Saskatchewan Arts Board Annual Report 2006-07
    Artists. Partnerships. Access. AR 2006-2007 Darren McKenzie Darren McKenzie, a Cree Métis from Saskatchewan, has studied art at Medicine Hat College, the Ontario College of Art and the University of Regina. He also studied intensively for four years with master wood carver Ken Mowatt at the Kitanmaax School of Northwest Coast Indian Art in Hazelton, B.C. The imagery found in Darren’s work is reminiscent of the pre-history of the Northwest Coast peoples, often including the mythology of signifi cant creatures and symbols such as the bear, raven, and sun, as well as the human form. In 2005, Darren realized a dream when he participated in the Changing Hands 2 exhibit, a celebration of North American Indigenous art that opened in New York’s Museum of Art and Design. In May 2009, Darren will have a solo exhibit at the Art Gallery of Regina, where he intends to bring to life through painting, drawing and sculpting, a vision depicting the culmination of his diverse learnings. “There is a power which lives in all of us and we simply have to reach out with our spirits to feel it; all things are bound by it, even stone, water and trees, living, growing, feeling. And when we do, the Creator is pleased, for we are one with Him and shall always be.” – Darren McKenzie Previous page: Darren McKenzie Righteous Apparition, 2005 (#2 from Urban Sentinel series) Cedarwood, hair Photo credit: Don Hall The Honourable Dr. Gordon L.
