Surrounded by & supporting artists.

Our office surrounds our staff with a selection of art curated to inspire a greater level of creativity.

We’ve also spent years supporting the local art community here in Saskatoon by providing free studio space to create a studio atmosphere allowing for collaboration between the artists and KSA. KSA then purchases a piece from each of the artists – and proudly displays it in our offices. A few of our artists in residence over the years have been David Dyck, Emma Johnson, Shelby Lund, and Marcel Petit.

Giving back.

Over the years KSA has tried our best to provide support back to our community. Whether it’s the First Nation Scholarships we’ve provided, our consistent support of the Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra, or our pro bono work with Stewart Properties, we’re proud to do our part when possible to help further our own community and the people in it.
