How well is the system sustaining creativity?
• What is the nature of professional connections and networks forged by artists among themselves and with their community (or communities)?
• Are these connections contributing to
1. healthy and sustainable arts ecosystem?
2. cultural, social and economic dimensions of the provincial ecosystem?

“I have worked with a number of Saskatoon businesses to produce work, most recently: Don's Photo, Mondrian Hall, Globe Printers, Laser Impressions, Art Placement. I purchase materials and supplies from hardware stores (Home Depot, Rona, COOP) as well as Art Placement and Michaels.”

SPAR artists listed the
organizations, groups,
and people as “most
important” to them…
within the arts and
beyond…
13
Artists build complex networks within and beyond the arts
Artists ranked networking & informal-connections as important.
We developed a new variable:
“network density”
Photo: City of Saskatoon
14
Network Density
Greater Network Density correlates with a higher likelihood of having received a grant.
28.5% of artist respondents recently received a public grant for creative work.

In the past 2 years, have you received a public grant for your creative work? (n=330)
Yes No
Network Density
Greater Network Density also correlates with:
• Higher incomes
• Residence in major cities (Regina and Saskatoon).
16
Orgs to which Artists are connected
Education and networking
“It's clear that higher networking is correlated with higher levels of education but we can't determine what is affecting what…
Also worth mentioning, newly-graduated had the highest networking density.”
- Sam Hage, SPAR researcher
17
Orgs to which Artists are connected
Can we foster even more complex networks?
We asked:
• “Are there any resources that you consider to be necessary for the realization of your creative goals as an artist to which you do not currently have access?”
Answers often mentioned networking opportunities (or Infrastructure for connections): • Social as well as Physical
• Within the Arts
• Within the Wider Community
• Beyond the Province
19
Infrastructure for connections
Artists identified the importance of virtual spaces:
• “Virtual space is important as is physical space.”
• “The world has grown smaller and is now on our very doorstep… We have to open up more, work together, and stop being so closed off. As artists and as a people.”
-SPAR Artist Respondents
20
Infrastructure for connections
As well as the importance of physical spaces:
• “I see the internet as a great way to still find opportunities, but I have made the greatest leap forwards with my career when I have been able to collaborate and be inspired by local people doing the same thing as I am or that I aspire to do.”
-SPAR Artist Respondents
21
How generative is the system?
SPAR respondents identified need for developing resources such as:
• Professional development opportunities
• Arts Infrastructure
• Human Resources training
• Organizational development
• Funding
• Critical discourse
• E-resources/information
22

How well are we doing “new”?
SPAR needed to study responses as well as who responded: • Connections to the partner org’s etc who helped us build out database
Under-represented among artist respondents: • Newcomers to province
• Young and Emerging artists

What is your age? (n=345) SPAR Artist Survey, 2014
How well are we doing “new”?
“There is a severe lack of opportunities for emerging and mid career artists and makers to get together in collaborative settings. The transfer of knowledge, ideas and learning is immense in those settings. Increased opportunities for collaboration and learning may also encourage young artists to see potential for careers in the arts.”
- SPAR artist respondent

How well are we doing “new”? “The arts community in
Saskatchewan is very much a word-of-mouth, networking community.
It is very hard for newcomers to Saskatchewan to break into the arts community successfully without a strong network in place.”

Artists’ Concerns regarding Education
“… loss of arts funding – cuts to education which result in loss of arts programming in school and universities, which in turn has sent students to other provinces for arts education in all fields of the Fine Arts. As a result […] the loss of dozens of established professional artists to provinces and cities across Canada.”
• SPAR Artist Respondent
61
Artists’ Concerns regarding Education
“Funding cuts to the University of Saskatchewan and the closing of the Emma Lake Kenderdine Campus has very negatively affected my creative practice.”
• SPAR Artist Respondent

Artists’ Concerns regarding Education
“Funding has been cut, university programs in the arts being cut or disappearing not growing.”
• SPAR Artist Respondent

Evidence Supporting Artists’ Concerns
64
Fine Arts and Arts Education Resources at Saskatchewan Universities, 1995-2015
A report prepared for the Saskatchewan Arts Alliance (report available here)
by Paul Gingrich
Evidence to support concerns
• Identified concerns • Decline in fine arts undergraduate enrolments • Shift of University budgets away from fine arts
• (Gingrich 2015)
65
Artists’ Connections with Education
“Innovative and high quality arts education programs have a direct impact on students’ ability to learn, and to be creative.
Individuals who are successful innovators have higher than normal exposure to the arts.”
• C. Brooke Dobni, in Achieving Growth through Innovation: The Role of Arts Education in Supporting Economic Sustainability, Saskatchewan Arts Alliance 2014.
66
Artists’ Connections with Education
• “The students in school today are the 21st century learners we’ve talked about for so long, and it behooves us to ensure that they acquire – through studies in the STEM subjects and the arts, through curriculum and partnerships with the professional arts community – the skills and abilities that will make them the future innovators of Saskatchewan”
