The mandate of the Centre is to promote contemporary Canadian and international artists, emerging and established, from diverse cultural backgrounds; to present a contemporary art program with a strong focus on Canadian performance and media art, with bilingual interpretative material produced for each exhibition; to adapt to the changing nature of the contemporary arts by maintaining an evolving interdisciplinary presentation space comprised of SAW Gallery, Club SAW and the SAW outdoor courtyard; to serve the needs of diverse communities through audience development initiatives; to engage in collaborations with other arts organizations to increase opportunities for exhibiting artists and to outreach to new audiences; to commit to paying artist fees above CARFAC recommendations.
