​

I would like to extend my personal thanks to these students, who had their BFA exhibition as well as the completion of their degree disrupted by the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic.  Throughout their ordeal, these students have exhibited the highest degree of professionalism, compassion, and fortitude towards each other, the department, and myself.  As their instructor, I have been privileged to work with them this semester and see them grow as professional artists.  I have been deeply impressed by them as we have all adapted to these unprecedented changes, and it is the privilege of the Saskatchewan arts community to welcome these exceptional artists to the fold.
