Culture On The Go

The Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport is working with the Saskatchewan Arts Board on Culture on the Go, a pilot program that will support greater access for Saskatchewan artists and cultural products through touring and marketing opportunities.

Culture on the Go is a research-focused, application-driven and peer-adjudicated pilot program.  It will test new and innovative ideas to deliver funding to:

• touring Saskatchewan artists;
• Saskatchewan presenters; and 
• ‘run-out' performances by artists (i.e. no overnight stays).

The Saskatchewan Arts Board will administer the $800,000 pilot program.  Culture on the Go will enable Saskatchewan artists and presenters to showcase the high quality of the province's cultural products.  A Touring Advisory Panel will be formed to make sure that the program complements existing touring programs.  Preference will be given to project proposals that incorporate the following seven elements:

• a spectrum of engagement from emerging to professional;
• youth engagement;
• access;
• Saskatchewan content;
• Aboriginal content;
• community legacy; and
• new media.
