ARTISTS IN SCHOOLS
Total
28,360
Artists in Schools programming provides schools opportunities to offer enhanced arts-related activities that are linked to defined curricular outcomes through partnerships with professional artists and arts organizations. The aim of this funding is to expand access to meaningful artistic activities, increase student engagement in learning, cultivate cross-disciplinary learning skills and attitudes and foster a life-long interest in the arts. In 2023/24, 28 partnerships were supported in the communities of Bulyea, Fort Qu’Appelle, Nipawin, North Battleford, Regina, Pinehouse Lake, Saskatoon, Sturgeon Lake, Turtleford, and Yorkton. Funding also supports the LIVE (Live Interactive Video Education) program that engages teachers and students in all corners of Saskatchewan in an interactive distance learning experience where professional artists broadcast grade-specific programs in dance, drama, music and the visual arts through the Ministry of Education’s LIVE satellite Network; and the Ask Artists video series providing opportunities to build artistic skills in various disciplines, as well as address a variety of social topics such as racism, personal identity, embracing failure, and breaking stereotypes. LIVE Arts is presented in both English and French and reached 15,647 students in 115 communities in 2023/24.
CREATIVE KIDS GRANT
Creative Kids Canada Inc. is a charitable-giving program designed to help children and youth, whose families are facing financial barriers, participate in arts and culture programming. The program primarily relies on funding from sponsors, donors and fundraising initiatives. SaskCulture, through the Culture Section of the Trust, provides an annual grant to this program, as well as covering administrative costs so that 100 per cent of donations go directly to helping Saskatchewan children and youth. Since 2010, Creative Kids has granted over $6.66 million , helping over 13,902 kids from 266 Saskatchewan communities. These numbers include kids supported by the DreamBrokers thanks to a special program fund organized through Creative Kids. In addition to helping kids, this program results in a huge investment to the cultural community, by supporting hundreds of cultural workers–including 598 music, dance, theatre, art and cultural instructors–as Creative Kids service providers.
