SK Arts’ Permanent Collection is seeking work by Indigenous artists in Saskatchewan.

We're looking for objects such as moccasins, mittens and gloves, hats and other non-ceremonial clothing items, bags and carrying cases, lanyards, dolls, medallions, earrings, necklaces and other jewellery, sashes, weaving, blankets, cushions, rugs and related home décor.

Objects should be original work designed by the artist rather than mass-produced items such as digitally printed t-shirts, mugs, and blankets or dreamcatchers and other popular tourist-market items made overseas. SK Arts will not accept submissions of regalia (including pow wow and other types of regalia) or any type of ceremonial objects. If you have questions about whether your work qualifies for purchase, please contact the Collections Assistant listed below.

You may submit images of up to three (3) works for consideration that are examples of your personal style and skill as an Indigenous artist, as well as your Nation and/or community. Please do not send actual works.

There are a number of ways to apply, including by email, online and phone.
