OSAC Art Exhibit Brings Mental Health Into Focus

OSAC's touring exhibition - Invisible Winds, featuring work of well-established and up-and-coming Saskatchewan artists that focuses on mental health, has blown into the church-turned-art gallery in the small town of St. Walburg, Sask., 60 kilometres east of the Alberta border — just in time for Mental Health Awareness Month.

Volunteer Award!

OSAC would not exist without the hundreds of volunteers who give tirelessly of their time and more to ensure the Arts can happen in their communities. Since 1994, OSAC has encouraged Arts Councils to nominate local volunteers who have made a difference in their community. In that time, over 80 of these valuable volunteers have been recognized by OSAC and their Arts Councils. If you know of someone in your community who is worthy of this recognition, please apply.
