OSAC was saddened to learn of the passing of Irene Adams, founding member of the Langenburg Arts Council and a 2012 recipient of the OSAC Life Member Award. A life long educator, Irene had a long history of helping people and was a mentor to many over the years.
All of us at OSAC offer our deepest condolences to Irene’s many friends and colleagues. - READ OBITUARY
OSAC was incorporated in June 1968 by a group of volunteers representing 8 arts councils in the province. They determined that to maintain and sponsor arts activities in their communities, a provincial organization should be formed to organize and coordinate programs.
The provincial organization would also act as a liaison between the community arts councils. The Saskatchewan Arts Board provided the funding necessary to establish OSAC.
Today OSAC annually presents over 300 live community and school performances, attended by a total audience of approximately 75,000, and 80 visual arts exhibitions attended by over 40,000 people along with the annual Showcase Event. OSAC is now in more than 80 towns and cities; local arts councils and schools are keeping the arts alive. This is possible because of a dedicated network of volunteers committed to making culture an integral part of Saskatchewan community live, and vital funding from Saskatchewan Lotteries and Canadian Heritage.
OSAC was thrilled and honoured to accept the SK Arts Award – Saskatchewan Arts Award for Leadership, Organization in 2018.

The OSAC Artist Listing is a resource set up to connect visual artists and the general public through our members. The artists’ profile includes images, general artist info, links to social media, contact information, workshop info, categories of medium, and a C.V. Building a profile is completely FREE for the artists, as well as for anyone browsing the listing. CHECK OUT THE ARTIST LISTING HERE
This resource can connect artists with parents looking for online art lessons for their children, people hoping to purchase art and support a Saskatchewan artist, teachers looking for online art lesson content, and everything in between. OSAC will not be handling any exchange of services or products; the Listing is more of an “artist classifieds”. Please follow the link for the TUTORIAL LINK on how to set up your Artist profile.
