About art now

Art Now, the only show of its kind on the prairies, provides local, national, and international artists and galleries with opportunities to gain exposure at a highly professional venue. The show features an opening night reception, panels, artist talks, family programming, and more. Exhibitor booths are open to all commercial galleries committed to showcasing the work of established and emerging artists and artisans from across Canada.

Art Now's mandate is to provide an accessible and comfortable fine art experience showcasing Saskatchewan's commercial galleries and the quality of Saskatchewan art, and to provide education and promote Saskatchewan's vibrant fine art industry. Our show offers free admission to all attendees and is family-friendly because we believe fine art is not just for the seasoned collector, but for everyone.

Our objectives for Art Now are to showcase the quality and diversity of fine art in Saskatchewan and Canada, engage the community by providing exceptional art experiences and cultural opportunities, provide exposure and sales opportunities for participating galleries, and to establish and maintain partnerships with supporters, organizations, and corporations.

Like all art fairs, in 2020 and 2021 our show was altered by COVID-19 restrictions and we held Art Now online and on location in our member galleries. In 2022, we were ecstatic to return to our four-day in-person format in Saskatoon with the addition of a week long online show. We returned to Regina, Saskatchewan in September 2023 for our eighth edition of the fair and are planning the ninth edition back in Saskatoon in 2024.
