The Women's Art Association of Saskatchewan (1928-1957) was a community organization of women artists and wives of the Regina art community, who were promoting Saskatchewan women's art locally and outside the province.[1] Founded in 1928 by artists Barbara Barber, Sybil Henley Jacobson and Harriette Keating[2] the association organized exhibitions and classes, often in collaboration with local art collector, Norman Mackenzie.[3]
Everal Brown, who had grown up in Swift Current and taken painting as part of her primary education, was known to be another notable member.[3] Clara Hume exhibited her works with the association.[4]
