Saskatchewan Arts Award for Leadership - Organization

OSAC was thrilled and honoured to accept the Saskatchewan Arts Award for Leadership - Organization on Thursday night on behalf of the thousands of Arts Council volunteers throughout the province. The work we do would not exist without their dedication to enriching their communities through the arts, as well as the hundreds of artists, community supporters, and funders who are part of the OSAC community. The generous cash prize will be used to support OSAC's Youth mentorship programs Spark and Inspire.

Many thanks to our nominator Lori Glauser from the Yorkton Arts Council and to the jurors. Thank you to our fellow nominees for their incredible contributions to the arts, to SaskCulture for sponsoring the category, and of course the Saskatchewan Arts Board for hosting such a great event. - Complete list of recipients
