Estevan Arts Council is governed by a 12-member board appointed by Estevan City Council. It was formed in 1967 by a City bylaw.

Board meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month,
except July and August.

The Council is funded by grants, subscribers, patrons, fees, and donations.

The annual Adjudicated Art Show offers emerging visual artists and craftspeople the opportunity to exhibit their work, participate in informational and hands-on workshops and to develop skills through participating in critiques with professional artist/adjudicators.

Energy city FILM CIRCUIT *more information coming soon
Spring of 2010, the arts council expanded to incorporate the medium of film (mainly Canadian & International) to their mandate of promoting the arts in the Estevan community. Positive attendance and feedback will see the continuation of this venture.

In the spring of each year, art scholarships are offered to students in grades 7 to 12 to assist them in their pursuit of further training in their chosen art field (drama, art, music, dance, etc) at a summer arts camp or workshop.
