Saskatchewan – Land of Living Skies and Incredible Artists

Happy Saskatchewan Day! August 1st is a day to celebrate how fortunate we are to be living in such an amazing place. Lakes, trees, prairies, dazzling skies, and the most wonderful people make Saskatchewan what it is - an inspiring place to be.

But that’s not all we have to offer; Saskatchewan is brimming with creative talent. Our 19 gallery members are dedicated to showcasing and prompting the works of hundreds of Saskatchewan artists, and last week, we featured just a few of them on our social media channels.
