Overview of the Artists in Communities - Development program:

The Artists in Communities - Development program is a funding opportunity by the SK Arts which aims to provide small amounts of funding to organizations and/or professional artists or arts professionals to build relationships with potential partners, develop projects or residencies, and/or research community needs. These partnerships are supported in forms of projects and residencies. Projects and residencies that come out of strong partnerships between the community organization and artist, that are developed, and that have well-planned objectives have higher success rates.

Benefits of the Artists in Communities - Development program:
  • Community organizations, professional artists or arts professionals can apply for up to $1,000 to support eligible expenses, and an additional amount related to artist travel if justified. Travel must be limited to within Saskatchewan and is intended for Saskatchewan artists only.
Eligibility criteria of the Artists in Communities - Development program:
  • To qualify for this program, the following guidelines must be met:
  • The community organization must be based in the province of Saskatchewan.
  • The community organization can be any incorporated for-profit company or non-profit community-based organization, e.g., business, institution, health care, justice facility, municipality, First Nation, Metis local, post-secondary institution, artists collective, Band Council, etc.
  • Professional artists and arts professionals that are Saskatchewan residents.
  • Applicants must be in good standing with SK Arts, i.e., have no overdue reporting on any prior grants on the submission deadline and when any grant payments are issued.
  • Due to the four-week response time on these grants, SK Arts is only able to accept Development stream submissions in English. Applicants who find this challenging can request support from SK Arts Accessibility Fund but are encouraged to contact their Program Consultant and do this work well in advance of the submission deadline.
