Culture Days

Culture Days raises the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. With the support of volunteer groups at the national, provincial and local levels, hundreds of thousands of artists, cultural workers, organizations and groups, volunteers and supporters self-mobilize to host free participatory public activities that take place in hundreds of cities and towns throughout the country over a month each year.

Culture Days will run from September 18 to October 4, 2026.

Need help funding your Culture Days program? The Saskatchewan Library Association is offering TEN $200 grants to libraries that put on programming for Culture Days. Both individual and institutional SLA members are eligible to apply for the grants.

Applications for the 2026 Culture Days program grants will open on June 8 and close on July 18!

All successful applicants are required to submit their final grant report by November 1, 2026. SLA will pay exact costs via cheque, up to $200, once the final report with all receipts has been received.
