Cultural Evolut!on
Cultural Evolution was created as a means of supporting local artists, musicians, and students during a challenging year for the arts industry in 2020. Since then, this initiative has blossomed into a highly anticipated event that performers and participants alike eagerly look forward to.
In 2022, we hosted a number of Cultural Evolution events, including the Buskers Showcase and the Student Heritage Fair, which showcased some of the finest performers, cultural groups, and teachings that Saskatchewan has to offer. These events were an overwhelming success, and we are excited to build on this momentum and further expand the reach of this series in future years.
You can also check out our "Past Events" tab, where you can watch videos of previous teachings and recaps of past years, as well as info on the other events we host.
