CREATIVE SASKATCHEWAN Investment Grant Outreach Tour

Creative Saskatchewan is hosting an ‘Investment Grant Outreach Tour’ in advance of our fall intake for program funding. This tour is open to all creative producers from our supported creative industries and is designed as an opportunity to learn more about Creative Saskatchewan, our funding programs, and tips for completing your funding application to us.

In an effort to reach as many Saskatchewan creative producers as possible, we are hosting 8 outreach sessions from August 25 through September 5 in a variety of locations throughout the province. Learn about investment opportunities for commercial creative industry projects and endeavours that can help you introduce your product to global markets.

Creative Saskatchewan is a new agency dedicated to the growth and commercial viability of Saskatchewan’s creative industries. A series of workshops throughout the province will provide information about our investment programs and tips on compiling and submitting your application.

Creative Saskatchewan manages 9 investment programs; each program is designed to support the success of its applicants.

Spoon Me’s online guests will be directed from the www.medalta.org/spoonme

viewed and re-pined by other Pinterest users. The link on the photo
remains with the image and will take viewers directly to the spoons
purchase page which happens to be on our brand new Medalta online shop
that we are also launching with the spoon show.  Our shop will feature
contemporary ceramics from our exhibitions, starting with Spoon Me, as
well as reproductions of historical Medalta pottery made in our Museums
production studio.

At Medalta we are passionate about ceramics, from our clay industry past
to the contemporary ceramics community. Through this exhibition, in the
gallery and online, our goal is creating more space and opportunity for
contemporary craft artists to engage with a growing audience…and our
audience is eagerly awaiting this exhibition!
