Permanent Collection
The Arts Board's Permanent Collection is a unique collection of art by Saskatchewan artists. It includes nearly 3,000 works of art in all media by more than 600 artists and is the largest body of work by Saskatchewan artists in the world. The Permanent Collection presents a vision of the province as seen through the eyes of hundreds of artists, innovative and traditional, emerging and established. It also preserves part of Saskatchewan's artistic history, and gives people the opportunity to appreciate Saskatchewan artwork in their communities and daily lives.
The Arts Board makes the Permanent Collection accessible by bringing it to the people of the province in their workplaces, schools and communities. Works form the collection are loaned to galleries and other venues around the province and country for exhibitions, film production, broadcast and publication opportunities. The Arts Board's Saskatchewan...Our Place poster kits were created to help teachers raise awareness about Saskatchewan art and artists in schools. The Arts Board's Art Rental program brings highly regarded artwork right into the office.

“... the most important effect of the suffrage is psychological. The permanent consciousness of power for effective action, the knowledge that their own thoughts have an equal chance with those of any other person ... this is what has always rendered the men of a free state so energetic, so acutely intelligent, so powerful.”
—Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)
“It’s rather grisly, isnt it, how soon a living man becomes nothing more than a collection of stocks and bonds and debts and real estate?”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
