Program Applications Now Being Accepted for Artsvest Saskatchewan

Feb 20, 2026

With $100,000 in funding from the province, artsvest Saskatchewan has opened for 2026, with applications open until March 12.

Artsvest Saskatchewan is a sponsorship and training program that encourages private sector investment in arts, culture and heritage organizations. Participating organizations can receive funding and professional development support through webinars and hands-on workshops on topics such as governance, fundraising, marketing, fund development and financial sustainability.

"Our province has a vibrant arts, culture and heritage sector made up of talented and creative individuals and organizations," Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Alana Ross said. "We are extremely pleased that the agreement has been renewed as it demonstrates the province's commitment to these sectors. This annual program has proven to be a highly successful way of aligning businesses with arts, cultural and heritage organizations to work together and partner in ways that benefit both parties, their communities and ultimately our province."

Since 2011, the province has invested over $2 million in the artsvest Saskatchewan program. This in-turn has helped create 1,756 partnerships between the arts, culture and heritage sectors and the private sector, resulting in a total economic impact of over $10 million in Saskatchewan.

Last year, a total of 25 arts, culture, and heritage organizations were engaged through artsvest - 17 were first-time participants.
