McGregor Hone
Lifetime Award for Excellence in the Arts, 1995

In an art career that has spanned more than fifty years, McGregor Hone's paintings and prints have been exhibited widely, and appear in many public and private collections. He studied with Ernest Lindner, Gus Kenderdine and Gordon Snelgrove, and frequently attended the Emma Lake Artists' Workshop. McGregor Hone's painting, By the Radio, was the first acquired for the Saskatchewan Arts Board's Permanent Collection in 1950. He taught at Central Collegiate in Regina from 1947 to 1979, and founded the popular "cenARTS" program there in the 1960's. He was a member of the Minister's Committee on Fine Arts in Education from 1976 to 1981.
