About
The Nuit Blanche Saskatoon is back for it's 9th year taking place on September 24th from 7pm-12am in the Broadway and Downtown neighbourhoods. The festival is an art movement that is celebrated in cities across the globe, and arrived in Saskatoon in 2014, when the first Nuit Blanche Saskatoon was held in the Riversdale neighbourhood. Since then, NBYXE has expanded to become a city-wide festival celebrating our city’s vibrant arts scene every year in September.
NBYXE is a free night-time contemporary arts festival featuring projections, sculptural installations, performance, music, theatre, and other contemporary art forms that wow festival-goers late into the evening.
Our purpose is to provide opportunities for people of all ages to engage with contemporary art while exploring public spaces.
Our mission is to collaborate with contemporary artists to install art where it would otherwise not exist. We provide the funding, festival structure and network that enables emerging artists to bring their works out of the gallery and into our local community. By bringing art into public spaces, we aim to remove barriers, spark curiosity, and enable everyone to enjoy art in their own way.
Nuit Blanche Saskatoon is run by a volunteer Board of Directors, with one paid curator position. The funding is secured by writing grants and sponsorship. Nuit Blanche relies on partnering with businesses, BIDs and organizations to host programming. The Majority of funding goes towards the artists, promotion and logistics to ensure a successful event.
