saskatchewan arts board annual report 2000 - 2001

Our mission is to cultivate an environment in which the arts thrive for the benefit of everyone in Saskatchewan.

Our vision is for the Arts Board to be essential to the province’s vibrant cultural life. In a collaborative and open spirit, the Arts Board supports creative expression through the arts and links Saskatchewan in an integrated network which reaches all people in all parts of the province. www.artsboard.sk.ca artist's statement

The visual design of the Saskatchewan Arts Board website began as a series of pencil sketches on paper: small scribble-like marks about 1 cm in size.

These marks were then enlarged and intentionally degenerated on a black-and-white photocopier. The small sketches were copied, enlarged, and then re-copied and enlarged numerous times. In this process, a unique texture is introduced into the image which originates from the contrast limitations and toner qualities of the machine.

As well, a custom type treatment was created for the top-level navigation text of the site. These fonts use multiple levels of opacity, and intend on speaking to the process of construction of the typeface form.

ts board issues which may vanish as quickly and effortlessly as they popped up. It has been said recently that the arts and the Arts Board are not on the radar screen. If There is no doubt that Saskatchewan society this is the case, perhaps a number of factors has changed around the Arts Board and that are at work. It could be that the instruments we need to cope with these changes if public are not sensitive enough to pick us up. We support for the arts is to continue, let alone need to help the radar operators adjust their increase. For example, the strategic plan settings and their sensitivities to pick up the which the Board developed this year contains arts, and to recognize them for what they an emphasis on the cultures of Aboriginal are: not as nuisances or as enemies but as peoples. This emphasis is driven by issues of friendlies, although ones that sometimes fairness and equity and also by a sense of come with a bit of a leading and cutting

Dr. the arts community as the father of the Arts Riddell received a Lifetime Award for Board, passed away August 15 at the age of Excellence in the Arts at the inaugural 94 in Barrie, Ontario. ceremony in 1989.

"The Board was created to bring arts to the people of Saskatchewan at a time that the David Smith province had seemingly little to offer. Today cultural life in the province is strong and lively, and much of this springs from the work of David Smith’s creation, the Saskatchewan Arts Board. The Arts Board has not quite, in William Blake’s words, "builded here Jerusalem", but it ranks as one of the distinctive and enduring achievements of visionary women and men like David, committed to an ideal and with the worldly wisdom and zeal to achieve it."

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Information

Management of the Saskatchewan Arts Board is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements and other financial information reported by the board of directors. This obligates management to use its best judgment in preparing and presenting financial information in accordance with established board policy and principles which are acceptable to the accounting profession.

The Board has established a system of internal controls to govern the management and accountability of financial resources entrusted to it. Management relies upon the system of internal controls to ensure that financial transactions are accurately recorded on a timely basis, are properly approved and result in reliable financial statements. It is, therefore, responsible for all amounts reported therein, including valuations determined externally by specialists. Management believes that the existing system of internal control provides a reasonable assurance that the assets are safeguarded and that the financial records are reliable for preparing financial information and maintaining accountability for assets.

Management is responsible for providing reasonable assurance to the Board and the general public through the saskatchewan ar Legislature that the Board’s financial information satisfies standards of validity and reliability. This requires that quantitative data be based on relevant parameters of measurement that are consistently applied over time. Management provides the Board with the necessary information for it to make governance decisions at the highest meaningful level in connection with the objectives articulated in The Arts Board Act, 1997. Audit Committee Management discharges its responsibility for financial information under the stewardship of the Board and its Audit David Millar, Chair Committee. In accordance with Article 28 of The Arts Board Act, 1997, the Board’s financial statements are audited annually by the Provincial Auditor or any other auditor or firm of auditors appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Sherry Farrell Racette Council. The Audit Committee is available to meet with the designated auditors as required. Colleen Bailey, Ex-officio

Auditor’s Report

To the Members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan

I have audited the statement of financial position of the Saskatchewan Arts Board as at March 31, 2001 and the statement of operations and net financial assets and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended. The Board’s management is responsible for preparing these financial statements for Treasury Board’s approval. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In my opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Board as at March 31, 2001 and the results of its operations and the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles.
