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 2021 - RE:IMAGINE the Possibilities

Your Prince Albert Culture Days committee has chosen RE:IMAGINE the Possibilities as the very apt 2021 theme. The annual celebration of arts, culture and a life enriched by both will again roll out as a 4-week celebration across Canada from September 24 through October 24, 2021. RE:IMAGINE signals a positive turning point—the commitment to building tangible change into the future of art and culture. Visit CultureDays.ca to learn more about the festival and how to get involved.

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. We have many fun events planned for you! Follow our Facebook page to learn more!  

This year we are also offering a Culture Days Micro Sponsorship to organizations or businesses that want to host a free culture days activity or event. Applications will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis until the funding runs out.

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.
