National Artist Program

The National Artist Program brings together bright and talented young artists from each province and territory, representing a variety of disciplines, and challenges them to create a piece of art that best represents the theme of the Games.The artists then share their pieces with other artists, the athletes and the public.

Artists from across the province submitted resumes to the Sask Games Counsel and the following were selected to represent Saskatchewan at the 2009 Canada Summer Games:
