Women's Art Association of Saskatchewan


The Women's Art Association of Saskatchewan was a community organization of women artists and wives of the Regina art community, who were promoting Saskatchewan women's art locally and outside the province. Founded in 1928 by artists Barbara Barber and Sybil Henley Jacobson, the association organized exhibitions and classes, often in collaboration with local art collector, Norman Mackenzie.

History

The association was involved in local art classes, which led to the creation of the Moose Jaw Art Guild in 1949 by ten Moose Jaw women. In the Guild's early years, some members continued to meet with the Women's Art Association, and in 1950, the Guild even sent members' work to the National Women's Art Association of Canada Show in Toronto.
The Women's Art Association of Saskatchewan disbanded in 1957.
