(Tourism, Culture and Recreation)

The following statement was issued today by Sandra Kelly, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Recreation. It was also read in the House of Assembly:

Ministerial statement - Art Procurement Program completed

I rise today to inform the Honourable Members that the selection process for the Art Procurement Program has been completed.

Approximately 1,300 pieces of art were submitted to the Selection Committee for consideration. A total of 88 pieces totalling $93,000 were purchased through the 1995/96 Art Procurement Program.

This program demonstrates government's commitment to Newfoundland and Labrador artists and art works. Established in 1982 by cabinet, this program is designed to recognize and promote the works of our artists by placing original Newfoundland and Labrador art works in public buildings.

Those items purchased under the Art Procurement Program are selected by a jury which comprises representatives from the arts community, Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council, and the School of Fine Arts at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College. The jury develops a list of recommended purchases with the final decisions based on the program's budget.

The program's art works and crafts are intended to be representative of the province's various geographical locations as well as the various themes, styles and compositions of visual art media.

I have attached the list of selected pieces to the statement which is being distributed in the House this morning.
