I am pleased to announce that the Master of Fine
Arts program was approved by the University of
Manitoba, the Board of Governors and the Academic
Senate in May, 2008. A major achievement for
the School of Art, the M.F.A. fulfills the School’s
longstanding vision of graduate studies in fine arts.
Subject to intensive University review, we believe that
the M.F.A. program builds a distinctive and creative
curriculum that balances art and intellect. Our lively
publications, summer programs, and enhanced
Visiting Artist series have created an international
profile for the School of Art.
Looking back over the last five years, I am
proud that we have advocated for the role of art as
a unique form of knowledge within the University.
The increasing recognition of the fine arts at the
University of Manitoba has lead to the new University
Creative Works Grant in 2007, with subsequent
awards to School of Art faculty. The School also has
a heightened presence in the University, and has
received support through research grants to rebuild
our infrastructure. Our art historians have garnered
SSHRC grants, and individual faculty members

as well as Gallery One One One have continued
to receive national and regional public and private
grants for exhibitions. The School has advanced the
cause of art in the midst of competing arguments for
research dollars from science and the humanities.
We are now seen as not only visual artists, but as
visible members of an academic community.
Engaged with the University’s research culture,
the School of Art has increased opportunities to
raise awareness of artists and designers as creative
thinkers who offer solutions to contemporary
human concerns. While the questioning spirit of
artists may create discomfort, it also preserves
the primacy of imagination in creating new
ways of knowing the world. The remarkable
accomplishments of our alumni and students
demonstrate this freshness of vision.
Similarly, the School has forged connections
with the Winnipeg art community, resulting in
collaborations with the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Urban
Shaman Gallery, and Plug In ICA, among others.
Visiting artists work with our students, creating a
dialogue between practicing professionals and
an n ual r ep ort { 2007  2008 }
dir ect or ’ s me ssag e
young artists. We have initiated advisory relationships
and research opportunities for artists and scholars,
enlarging the possibilities for our students.
This year completes my term as Director. I want
to take this opportunity to thank the faculty, students
and staff of the School of Art for their support in
bold academic ventures. I am also grateful for the
support offered by fellow Deans and Directors,
and by the President and Vice Presidents of the
University of Manitoba. We warmly welcome the
incoming Director, Paul Hess. Laurie Anderson, a
performance artist, says “Art is about joy, about
making something that’s so full of kind of a wild
joy that you really can’t put into words.” I hope
the images in this report convey the joy that we all
experience in art.
core values:
history :
Established in 1913 as the
Winnipeg School of Art, the
School of Art became affiliated
with the University of Manitoba
in 1950. The School of Art is
one of the oldest art schools
in western Canada, with a
reputation for producing
strong creative artists. With
its origins as an independent
ar t academy, the School’s
educational mission derives
from the interdependence
of intellectual investigation
and material expression in
art, making it unique among
Canadian universities for its
balanced emphasis between
disciplined fine art practice
and visual and intellectual
exploration.
Theresa Braun, STUDENT
m i s s ion :
To prepare artists and scholars
in art history and theory who
employ creative thinking, artistic
skill, and a strong background in
history and culture. This balance
between intellectual inquiry
and creative ability informs the
School of Art’s programs.
• E xcellence in teaching, and an instructor to
student ratio that encourages the individual
training, advising, and mentoring necessary for
students to develop as artists and designers
• Creative thinking
• Visual problem solving
• Diversity of approaches to research, teaching,
and creative expression
• Diversity of cultures
• Integration of intellect and ideas, and visual forms
and expression
• Creative and intellectual exchange within the
University, nationally and internationally
• National and international competitive strength
as a source of outstanding artists
• A respectful environment for
learning and working
vision:
The School of Art recognizes art
as a unique form of knowledge
that gives visual form to ideas.

Ivan Eyre receives Honorary Doctorate
At the University of Manitoba Convocation on May 27,
renowned artist Ivan Eyre received an honorary
doctorate at the University of Manitoba. Born in
Tulleymet, Saskatchewan, Ivan Eyre studied at the
University of Manitoba School of Art, where he later
taught painting and drawing. Throughout his career
he has achieved international recognition for his
fluent drawing and visionary painting.
Art on the Avenue is a collaboration between the
Downtown Winnipeg Business Development Zone
and nine School of Art Sculpture students, initiated
by Professor Gordon Reeve. This collaboration
provides emerging sculptors with the funding
and materials to create a group of original public
sculptures for Portage and Graham Avenues in
downtown Winnipeg. Currently there are eighteen
sculptures created through this project, installed to
enhance Winnipeg’s downtown. This year Investors
Group as well as the Richardson Building placed
School of Art students’ sculptures at their corporate
headquarters. Each artist made a sculpture for a
specific site with a limited budget while satisfying
Winnipeg city by-laws. As dedicated sculptors, the
students rapidly acquired new skills, producing
witty, challenging and lively works that enhance
the urban environment.

T h e l o n g a w a i t e d M . F. A .
Program was approved by the
University of Manitoba Senate
on May 5, 2008, and passed the
Board of Governors on May 22,

M.F.A. program will be offered
by 2010-2011 pending funding
by the University and the Council
on Post Secondary Education.

The awarding of honorary degrees to artists
by the University of Manitoba was infrequent
in the past. The School of Art is honored by
the recent recognitions of the achievements of
Ivan Eyre in 2008 and of Joe Fafard in 2007.
These achievements demonstrate the significant
contributions that artists continue to make in our
province, country, and public life.
sc ho ol of art
Ivan Eyre is recognized as one of the most important
and prolific Canadian artists of the twentieth
century. His deeply imaginative work has been
exhibited internationally in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Paris,
Spain, London, Edinburgh, Frankfurt and New York
and in many private, as well as all of the major and
most of the small public galleries across Canada
in sixty-seven solo and one hundred and twentyeight group exhibitions. His 1988 exhibition, Ivan
Eyre, Personal Mythologies: Images of the Milieu,
was the first exhibition of work by a living Canadian
painter and an inaugural exhibition for the new
National Gallery of Canada. Currently a Professor
Emeritus of the School of Art, Ivan Eyre taught
painting and drawing at University of Manitoba for
thirty-three years. We honour Professor Ivan Eyre
with the degree of Doctor of Laws, not only for
his remarkable lifetime achievement, but also for
sharing with all Canadians the boundless landscape
of his imagination.

Carol E. Mills Memorial Scholarship Fund
the Winnipeg Art Gallery, as well as through
membership and presidency of the Manitoba
Society of Artists. Creating art was her passion.
In her own words: "I create art because it is my
visual voice. My painting style is constantly evolving
and is a distillation and abstraction of my inner and
outer experiences. I love the process of exploration
and experimentation. The linear combination in
some of my paintings coupled with the creation of
multiple layers can be interpreted as metaphors for
the many searches and journeys in my life."
Her creativity was focused on painting and
printmaking and she was often surprised by
the final images produced. Her art is held in
private collections in Canada, USA, Trinidad
and England.
In memory of his wife, Mrs. Carol E. Mills (B.F.A.
1980, B.Ed. 1984), Dr. John T. Mills and family have
established an endowment fund at the University
of Manitoba, School of Art. Carol was known as
a talented painter, gifted teacher, and supportive
friend. Through her passion for the arts she inspired
others to create. The scholarship commemorates
her dedication to creativity and self-expression. It
will be used to support students in the School of
Art who work in painting and/or printmaking, in the
second, third, or fourth year of study in the Bachelor
of Fine Arts (Honours), the Bachelor of Fine Arts,
or the Diploma in Art.
Born in Trinidad, Carol immigrated to Canada
with her husband John, in 1967. After raising sons
Richard and Nicholas, Carol was involved with art
education through the Winnipeg School Division,

Research and Creative Excellence in Fine Art and Design
The School of Art is a research intensive unit in fine art and design. Recognition of faculty members’
publications, exhibitions, and time-based productions demonstrate the high level of research at the
School. Our creative production and research is affirmed by the grants and awards that faculty, students
and alumni receive from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Canada
Council for the Arts, the Manitoba Arts Council and the Winnipeg Arts Council. The high level of creative
activity by faculty is manifest in the works of art purchased by major art museums and galleries, the
Canada Council Art Bank, the Province of Manitoba Arts Advisory Board, public and private corporate
art commissions, broadcast media productions, and through faculty and student works shown in national
and international art exhibitions and biennales. Through the research and creative activities of faculty
and students, the School of Art has become prominent nationally and has produced many professional
artists, art historians, and curators who create visual art and knowledge internationally.
Academic Programming
The School of Art offers
five academic programs:

Often referred to as pioneers of

SERIPOP is revered for its
detailed, clever, handmade
images. Strongly based in a DIY
culture, they have inspired a new
generation of poster makers,
printmakers and designers to
commit to a handmade, hand
drawn aesthetic. The duo is
becoming known around the
world for their album cover
designs and recently won a Juno
for best album cover.

ABOUT THE COVER
The cover of this year's Annual Report for 2007-08 pays homage
to the School of Art's 95-year history, beginning as the Winnipeg
School of Art, established in 1913. The cover photograph of art
students is drawn from the 1939 prospectus, designed by Lionel
LeMoine Fitzgerald, the principal from 1929-47. Recognized as a
major Canadian artist, Fitzgerald was dedicated to the development
of creative visual artists. The handwriting and drawing on this year's
cover are taken from Fitzgerald's letter to his wife Vally (1926)
describing his observations of the prairies while riding by train from
Altona through Manitou. The images were provided by the Fitzgerald
Study Collection of the School of Art, University of Manitoba.
