The Saskatchewan Arts Board serves the people of Saskatchewan through programs and activities designed to build a strong and vibrant arts sector.

Our mission is to cultivate an environment in which the arts thrive for the benefit of everyone in Saskatchewan.

Our goal is to have a province where people engage in the arts in all their diversity, support our artists, and champion the arts as vital to a healthy society.

Our aim is for the Saskatchewan Arts Board to play a strong and flexible leadership role in our province's future, through a number of strategies:

• Addressing opportunities for artists
• Enhancing the impact of the arts in our communities
• Building partnerships with stakeholders
• Increasing access to the arts in our province
• Helping to build a strong creative economy in Saskatchewan

The Saskatchewan Arts Board is funded by the Government of Saskatchewan through the Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport, with additional support from the Saskatchewan Lotteries Trust Fund for Sport, Culture and Recreation as a result of the Arts Board's partnership with SaskCulture Inc.

For more information on the Arts Board's activities, please read our Annual Report and browse our website.

Correction. In its 2008-09 Annual Report, the Saskatchewan Arts Board mistakenly attributed work on The Dewdney Avenue Project (2009) to Common Weal's current artistic director. In fact, the project was realized through the leadership and efforts of former executive director Elwood Jimmy and former artistic director Carey Shaw (2008-2009) who brought together indigenous artists, community leaders and community residents to explore the rich history and unique cultural identity of the Regina North Central neighborhood. We apologize for the publication of this misinformation.
