Kenneth Lochhead

, OC, LLD, RCA


An early arts leader, Lochhead was invited to become director of the University of Saskatchewan School of Art at Regina College in 1950, when he was just 24 years old.

At the same time, he was asked to spearhead the creation of the Norman MacKenzie Art Gallery and, in 1955, Lochhead created the Emma Lake Professional Artists’ Workshop. The acclaimed sessions drew both artists and influential art critics to Saskatchewan and helped propel local artists onto the national and international scene.

In 1961, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa featured Lochhead and contemporaries Doug Morton, Art McKay, Ron Bloore and Ted Godwin in a show entitled Five Painters from Regina. The modern art exhibition put Regina on the map artistically and launched the artists, dubbed the Regina Five, into the visual arts spotlight.
