Updates on SK Arts programs and activities.
Following a 2.5% increase to SK Arts' appropriation in the 2023/24 provincial budget, SK Arts announced how it plans to distribute the funds. This increase represents the first to the agency's general funds since 2011, not including occasional designated funds for specific purposes. The agency also received a funding increase towards specific programs from Sask Lotteries as a result of its ongoing partnership with SaskCulture.
