Photo Light Kits
We have lighting equipment kits available at both CARFAC SASK offices. Each kit contains a pair of halogen lamps, lamp stands, a tripod and an incident light meter.
Members may borrow the kits for the purpose of photographic documentation of their works. The equipment is not intended for commercial use, nor for non-photographic uses (installations, exhibits, etc).
Prior to the use of equipment borrowers must participate in a certification program or exhibit competency and skill in use and care of the equipment. A loan fee and security deposit are required.
Members may book the equipment in advance, by contacting CARFAC SASK staff during office hours.
( sorry...the chair is not included in the kit...)

The 2013 to 2016 Visual Arts Handbook was the last physical book published. A few copies are still available through the offices.
In 2016, CARFAC SASK launched an online resource called the Business of Art Website. The TBA website takes the place of the Visual Arts Handbook. This interactive, educational site provides information about pursuing a career in the arts, featuring the advice of seasoned professionals in Saskatchewan’s arts scene. The site covers a range of topics and offers links to online resources.
CARFAC SASK NEWSLETTER copies are archived here in PDF form. You will need Adobe Reader or similar software in order to view PDF files. Print copies of Newsletters prior to September 2006 are kept in the Resource Centres of the CARFAC SASK offices.

CARFAC SASK is led by an elected Board of Directors, who develop policies and priorities and guide the operations of the organization. A staff of one full-time Executive Director, and two part-time Office Coordinators manage the two offices and all programs and activities. Contract staff are often utilized for programs (Newsletter), projects and special events (Symposia).
Working committees of volunteers may assist the board in the development of policy, programs, and guidelines. In the case of large projects, such as the Artists in Residence/Artists in Schools Project, a coordinator may be contracted to assist the committee (if funds permit). In addition, ad hoc committees are formed to address specific needs or projects.

Annual General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting takes place in November each year. It’s an opportunity for the membership to keep up to date on current programs and activities, and a time to reflect on the past, present and future of the organization. The AGM also affords the members a chance to participate in the organization as a board member or volunteer.
