Our Values
These are the principles we value:
Collective Voice: a collective voice enables artists to create positive change and public support for the arts.
Towards Truth and Reconciliation: a commitment to the values, principles and Calls to Action of the Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Practicing Decolonization: a commitment to unlearning colonial assumptions and working in ways that honour Indigenous leadership, cultural practices, and community-defined priorities.
Intersectional Diversity: the diverse voices and perspectives in the arts ecosystem are respected, welcomed and supported.
Integrity: artists and arts organizations are free to pursue their artistic vision at arms length and empowered by artists’ rights to a living wage.
Pay Equity: a respectful living wage for arts workers and arts administrators, comparable to other industries in Saskatchewan.
Access: citizens have free access to art, and participation in their culture.
Creative Expression: the artist’s creativity, and the diversity of the arts, are essential to our social and economic well-being.
An Informed Public: research creates a critical foundation for good policy, and a broader understanding of our arts ecosystem.
Collaboration and Cooperation: leadership in facilitating the sharing of resources and coordinating efforts is important to the arts community.
