REGINA — The Government of Saskatchewan is allocating $60,000 to support professional development of Francophone artists and strengthen French-language arts and culture across the province.
The Conseil culturel fransaskois (CCF) will receive the funds to deliver seven workshops to singers, musicians, writers and visual artists. This is the second year of the funding with more than 55 artists benefitting from the program in 2024-25.
The workshops will focus on a variety of areas for professional development such as marketing, promotion and mentorship.
This funding is part of the Canada-Saskatchewan Agreement on French-language Services, a five-year initiative that enhances the delivery of French-language programs and services across the province.
The CCF has been the province's leading organization for the development and promotion of Francophone culture for over 50 years.
"The biggest impact of this renewed and increased funding will be felt in the continuation of initiatives launched last year," CCF President Anne Brochu Lambert said. "It is a recognition of both the value of these initiatives and the importance of thoughtful long term professional development for our artists."
