Ron Ewenin Wapemoose is a Saulteaux-Cree artist who had a rough start to life. He was raised in Alberta by his grandmother. When he was eight years old, she passed away, and he moved to Saskatchewan where he lived in a residential school until he was 16. Haunted by his troubled upbringing, it wasn’t long before Ron was in trouble with the law. For years, he struggled with addiction and continued to run into trouble.
Following a 2.5% increase to SK Arts' appropriation in the 2023/24 provincial budget, SK Arts announced how it plans to distribute the funds. This increase represents the first to the agency's general funds since 2011, not including occasional designated funds for specific purposes. The agency also received a funding increase towards specific programs from Sask Lotteries as a result of its ongoing partnership with SaskCulture.
