Saskcultu Membership Director 2018 Culture in Saskatchewan SASKCULTU MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR 2018 CULTURE IN SASKATCHEWAN Culture is defined in many different ways. The word culture often refers to the particular values, beliefs, knowledge and traditions of a group of people. It is also used to describe the everyday life and behavior of people that flows from their beliefs. SaskCulture defines culture as “a dynamic system of acquired elements, with values, assumptions, conventions, beliefs and rules through which members of a group relate to each other and the world.” Culture defines who we are as a people; keeping alive our past, reflecting our values, articulating our dreams and fostering pride in who we are. It proclaims our existence and identity to the world. Arts Art is the expression of inspiration and imagination, from individual to collective, from grassroots to professional, and institution. Art reflects our culture, embraces our past, provides a window to our future to examine ourselves and our experiences, and transmits humanity’s knowledge of the world. The arts engage people as audience, creators or interpreters through access and education, and foster traditional to emerging art forms. Heritage Heritage is what we have received from the past. It shapes our present identity and provides insight for our future. Within the scope for SaskCulture, heritage includes a range of activities in the areas of stewardship, preservation, research, education and engagement. These activities exhibit a sensitivity to the Indigenous natural environment; the impact of the interaction between human activity and natural environments; and differing perspectives regarding objects, ideas, places and traditions. Multiculturalism Multiculturalism represents the openness to experiencing and celebrating cultural differences within the Canadian context. It is inclusive of all peoples and respectful of the rights of individuals and groups to maintain and practice their cultural heritage, distinctiveness, growth and evolution. Multiculturalism recognizes the richness and strength of ethno-cultural diversity. It recognizes diversity and builds community by encouraging people to share, learn, appreciate, respect and accept. Cultural and/or Creative Industries Cultural and/or Creative Industries constitutes the economy of the cultural sector, defined by a final product for consumption, derived from the creative sectors (consisting of individual creatives and/or organizational creatives), which is either non-reproducible and aimed at being consumed on the spot (a concert, art fair, exhibition) or aimed at reproduction, dissemination or export (book, film, sound recording, artwork), whether en masse or to a targeted niche to achieve a value for a shared product or experience that results in, or involves, a financial or business transaction.
