Culture Days is a national celebration of arts and culture. At the end of each September, millions of people attend thousands of participatory arts and culture events across the country.

This year the celebrations have been extended to a 4-week run, read through the Culture Days 2020 page to find out more about the changes to this year’s festivities.

1948, a key event occurred that would have long-ranging implications. During its first term in office, T.C. Douglas’ CCF provincial government created the SASKATCHEWAN ARTS BOARD, the second arts council in the world and modeled after The British Arts Council. Through an Order-in-Council, Premier Douglas was quoted as saying:
“The people of the Prairies are hungry … for things of the mind and the spirit: good music,
literature, paintings and folk songs.”
Weyburn Arts Council was the first arts council established in Saskatchewan in 1964 by a City bylaw, and is governed by a 10-member volunteer board.
The council is funded by grants, fees and donations which are graciously accepted. As a non-profit charitable organization, Weyburn Arts Council can issue charitable donation receipts. Legacies or bequeathments are accepted.
Weyburn Arts Council is an affiliate of the Saskatchewan Arts Council and a member of the Museum Association of Saskatchewan. We are an advisory board overseeing the City of Weyburn galleries (Allie Griffin, Credit Union and Signal Hill) and programming. As well, we manage the City of Weyburn permanent arts collection.
