Our Research and Reports
Research that is relevant and rigorous is critical for effective decision-making that advances the Saskatchewan arts sector. If the arts and artists in Saskatchewan are to achieve their potential and if we are to develop the policies, programs and resources to make that happen, then fundamental information and evidence specific to our province is needed.
If the Saskatchewan Arts Alliance doesn’t do the primary research to understand our own communities and the role of arts organizations and artists in them no one else will do it for us, answering why research has become increasingly important to SAA’s work.
