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. 

6 Easy Ways to Support our Local Artists

Simple steps with big impact!

1. Buy their work and pay them appropriately.

2. Commission them for work. 

3. Help promote them and the events they are at - like, share, tag them on social media and connect them to others. 

4. Share their art and tell your friends about them. 

5. Go to their show, exhibit, reading, or take their art class. 

6. Donate to the arts if you're able.

Culture Days 

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.

The Prince Albert Culture Days will be held from September 18 to October 12, 2025. The City has received and are grateful for sponsorship from SaskCulture/Sask Lotteries for our Culture Days events.
