Lieutenant Governor's Arts Awards
On the occasion of its 40th anniversary in 1988, the Arts Board established the Lifetime Award for Excellence in the Arts. The award honours Saskatchewan individuals whose accomplishments have had a major impact on the arts provincially, nationally and internationally.
In 2004, the awards program expanded and the Arts Board established the Lieutenant Governor’s Arts Awards to recognize the achievements made by individuals, groups and organizations in the arts.
In celebration of Saskatchewan’s Centennial in 2005, the Co-operators commissioned an original piece of artwork by Joe Fafard that will be awarded to Lieutenant Governor’s Arts Awards recipients for years to come. In addition to the artwork, all award recipients receive a cash prize. Award categories include Lifetime Achievement, 30 Below, Leadership, Arts and Learning, and Saskatchewan Artist.
Past recipients of the Lieutenant Governor's Arts Awards and the Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence in the Arts are found here.

“I too have arts and sorceries;
Illusion dwells forever with the wave.”
