SaskGalleries was created as a not-for-profit, member-based organization and incorporated in 2000 as the result of a request from the Saskatchewan provincial government. The request came as part of an initiative to enhance and build the key cultural/creative industries in Saskatchewan. SaskGalleries' members represent approximately 600 Saskatchewan artists in addition to other Canadian artists. Many professional artists rely on SaskGalleries’ members for a strong portion of their income.
SaskGalleries is a recognized Creative Industry organization in Saskatchewan and is proudly funded by Creative Saskatchewan. Our association represents the established commercial art galleries in Saskatchewan that follow a common set of ethical standards and practices.
SaskGalleries celebrated our 20th anniversary in 2020.
