Common Weal Community Arts

About Common Weal Community Arts :

« Common Weal Community Arts creates programming in collaboration with socially-engaged artists and Saskatchewan communities in pursuit of an equitable and just society.

Our values :
Connection /Equity / Creativity / Adaptability / Leadership / Service / Compassion

We strive to inspire ideas and empower people to tell their stories in their own voices. Place or shared identity or interest may define the participating communities, the majority of which are marginalized, underserved, or historically misrepresented. Our projects are diverse in artistic discipline and approach, including elements of traditional practice, site-specific work, residency and workshop activity, high profile events, and critical discourse on social practice. Our vision is achieved through producing art that promotes critical thinking; embracing cooperation, diversity, and inclusiveness; committing to projects of a high artistic merit; affirming and developing a creative consciousness by challenging the status quo with honesty and integrity; and recognizing and engaging alternative voices and worldviews. »
