Creative Saskatchewan announced a significant change to its policies that gives many organizations, for the first time, access to its grant programs.
Previously, arts and culture organizations that received operational funding from either the Saskatchewan Arts Board or SaskCulture had not been permitted to apply to Creative Saskatchewan’s grant programs.
Effective immediately, that restriction has been lifted. The restriction had been part of Creative Saskatchewan’s grant guidelines since they were first created in 2013.
While this change in policy means many arts organizations now become newly eligible to apply for Creative Saskatchewan grants, proven commercial viability of every proposed project remains a critical component of all successful applications.
Grants will continue to be awarded using criteria-based selection process that focuses on supporting commercial success.
Since the agency’s inception, nearly $15 million has been committed directly to creative producers in the province.
