Artist Payment Guidelines

Prince Albert is a vibrant artistic and cultural community. We have many talented artists from visual to theatre, literature to media, and music to dance.

As an artist, you need to be paid for your work. This is your profession, just like other professions. Let's keep strengthening our artistic and cultural community. Here are some Artist Payment Guidelines to consider.

Review what Event Organizers can consider for Artist Payment Guidelines.

Culture Days: September 25 to October 25, 2020

Culture Days is a national celebration of arts and culture. Each year, millions of people attend thousands of participatory arts and culture events across the country. Culture Days programs invite the public to get hands-on and behind-the-scenes to highlight the importance of arts and culture in our communities.

Prince Albert, through a committee of several partnering organizations and with the support of the SaskCulture Culture Days sponsorship, host free Culture Days community events. 

2020 Culture Days

This year's theme is Unexpected Intersections, aiming to inspire creative collaborations and discovery. Visit our Culture Days "hub" page and watch for more information on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/culturedaysPA/.
