Based in Regina, Saskatchewan, the Executive Director of Sâkêwêwak Artists’ Collective Inc., Adam Martin, works to ensure Indigenous artists have space to cultivate and share their art. As a multi-disciplinary arts organization Sâkêwêwak is dedicated to the promotion, exhibition, and development of Indigenous art and artists. This is accomplished through artist residencies, workshops, performances, exhibitions, and an annual Story Tellers Festival. Strategic partnerships have been critical to how the organization has developed and changed over time. Martin enjoys pushing artists out of their comfort zones and encourages them to submit proposals or projects that effect change and work within communities to change and grow.
