SK Arts’ CEO, Michael Jones, has announced his intention to retire after almost nine years with the agency in order to focus on freelance consulting work and his artistic practice.
Michael says, “I have had the honour of getting to know the Saskatchewan arts community over the past nine years, and I continue to be inspired by their work. I have had the pleasure of working with a dedicated staff and Board, and I want to thank them all for the support they have shown me through my time here. I would also like to thank the Honourable Laura Ross, Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport, for her support both of SK Arts and of me personally.”
Cory Furman, Board Chair at SK Arts, is also appreciative of Michael’s work and commitment. “We want to express our gratitude,” he says, “for the work that Michael has done with SK Arts since assuming this role almost nine years ago. Michael has become a fixture in the Saskatchewan arts community, and it will be a task to find someone who can replace a leader of his calibre. We wish him all the best in the future.”
