There鈥檚 even more Culture Days for Saskatchewan to love in 2020! Canada鈥檚 favourite fall celebration of arts and culture is set to deliver a month-long immersive and engaging arts and culture experience 鈥� indoors, outdoors and online - beginning September 25 and running until October 25.
听The annual, nation-wide celebration of arts and culture offers people of all ages and walks of life the opportunity to try out arts and culture activities for free. Experiences are normally hands-on and interactive, and designed to entice more people to get involved in local arts and culture. This year, a new virtual option has been added to ensure the health and safety of organizers, volunteers and the public.
听鈥淐OVID-19 created many challenges for the cultural community this year but it also opened the door to some creative opportunities,鈥� says Dean Kush, CEO, SaskCulture. 鈥淟ots of discussion and brainstorming among national and provincial Culture Days partners resulted in a new way to highlight the cultural experiences found here in the province, as well as throughout the country.鈥�
听In addition to virtual programming, some small, in-person activities are also taking place where allowed by public health guidelines, and with COVID-19 prevention measures in place.
听鈥淪askCulture offered sponsorships for community organizers to work together in hubs to offer safe, virtual programming,鈥� Kush adds. 鈥淭he response was very positive, despite the uncertainty, and the creativity of our cultural sector is really shining through with the variety of different experiences they are offering.鈥�
听Culture Days Hub communities include: Gravelbourg, Prince Albert, Weyburn, Lloydminster, Regina, Saskatoon, Manitou Beach, Yorkton and Warman. Visit for the full lineup of activities 鈥� in Saskatchewan and across the country - to choose from.
