Administrative history
The Moose Jaw Fine Art Guild was formed in June 1949. The first executive elected were president, Mrs. Owen Wilson; secretary-treasurer, Miss Letty Stuart. Charter members also included Mrs. W.E.S. West, Mrs. Walter Clarke, Mrs. Oswald Fysh, Miss Ruth E. Way, Miss Isabel Anderson, Mrs. Hugh House and Mrs. Marwood Gaye. The Guild was associated with Women's Art Association of Saskatchewan. The W.A.A.S. disbanded in 1957.
The aims of the guild were to encourage appreciation of art, to produce original paintings or pieces of art, to draw together those interested in art, to further art in the community, and to provide members with an opportunity to exhibit their art.
In 1984 a motion was passed to change the name to Moose Jaw Art Guild. Membership was declining and the guild felt that the term "fine" perhaps dissuaded some artists from joining.
