OSAC is a member based provincial cultural organization, funded by Saskatchewan Lotteries, that offers programs and services in the visual arts and performing arts.

Proceeds from Saskatchewan Lotteries benefit more than 12,000 non-profit sport, culture and recreation groups around the province. For every $1 of lottery funding provided as seed funding, these non-profit prganizations are able to leverage another $4, multiplying this investment each year.

More than 500,000 individual and family registrants participate in sport, culture and recreation programming each year, from more than 800 communities, including cities, towns, villages, hamlets and First Nations bands across the province.
