The Best Practice Standards for the Saskatchewan Visual Arts Sector is a visionary project for the province of Saskatchewan to provide professional, ethical, and practical industry standards. This project, facilitated by CARFAC Sask and developed the community of arts professionals, including visual, media and craft artists, curators, agents, patrons and dealers, will ultimately influence the direction of industry standards across Canada.  These standards provide practical guidelines and protocols to reference when engaging in professional relationships or endeavours involving the visual arts.  Industry standards ensure that agreements between creators and presenters will be entered into with mutual understanding and respect and will contribute to the strength and recognition of the visual arts sector in Saskatchewan.
