Events at the Allie Griffin Art Gallery
Weyburn Arts Council holds an annual art adjudication where the artists are given the opportunity of displaying their work . As well we contract professional adjudicators to offer critiques and workshops which provides encouragement in their future development in their arts career.

We also host the James Weir People’s Choice annual exhibition in January in honour of James Weir, our benefactor, who saw the need for the arts in our province and helped develop the provincial arts board.

Through the Allie Griffin Art Gallery, monthly exhibitions are held year round, with extension activities for young and old alike.

We celebrate May - Arts Education Month by annually providing clay classes to 20 classess of school children. We also annually exhibit Junior High and High school artworks in the Gallery.

City of Weyburn Permanent Art Collection
The City of Weyburn Permanent Art Collection is managed by the Curator, under the direction of Arts Council. We purchase new works as they fit the criteria of documenting life and history of our locale and province. We do accept related donated artwork. The works are kept in a secure and environmentally safe environment. They are generally displayed yearly. Some works are presently hung in the City Hall offices and open spaces.

Signal Hill Giftshop
The Signal Hill Giftshop is managed by Weyburn Arts Council. It is open year round during regular office hours of Signal Hill Arts Centre. We accept on consignment, quality goods, locally made. The Giftshop Committee screens for quality and suitability. The giftshop will be open on a part-time basis when the curator is in the office (Mon., Wed., & Fri., but days can vary due to AGAG exhibition schedules).

Weyburn Arts Council Logo
The Weyburn Arts Council recently had their logo redesigned. The new logo incorporates the water tower as a symbol of Weyburn and a stalk of wheat which symbolizes the surrounding communities that participate in the arts. The black paint coming out of the wheat painting the tower symbolizes the oil industry surrounding Weyburn.
