Festival

*Postponed*

Art Vancouver has been dedicated to making Vancouver an internationally-renowned arts destination. Each year we hold a multi-day art fair that connects over 100 Canadian and international artists and galleries with more than 10,000 art-lovers, collectors, and buyers from across Canada, and around the globe. At this year’s event (April 2020), local B.C. and Canadian artists will come from the Metro Vancouver region, Vancouver Island, the interior of B.C., Alberta, and Ontario. 

The imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival is the global hub for Indigenous-made media arts. Each year, imagineNATIVE presents a selection of film, video, audio, digital media, and exhibitions each created by Indigenous artists from Canada and around the world, in addition to a series of panels and workshops. The Festival is the largest event of its kind in the world and is a leader in supporting and developing Indigenous media arts and in building relationships between communities. For more information, please visit the ImagineNATIVE website.

The story:

Running simultaneously to the Cold Waters Remote Studio for Northern Ontario artists, the symposium will connect cultural workers with artists from across the region, along with funders, peers, and more. The Sympsium & Festival is facilitated by The Media Arts Network of Ontario / Réseau des arts médiatiques de l’Ontario (MANO/RAMO) and Near North Mobile Media Lab (N2M2L).

Come visit North Etobicoke and York in the City of Toronto this summer to get a taste of the vibrant arts culture these communities have to offer. This program has been celebrating the extraordinary abilities of Torontonian artists since 2014. Over 100,000 people have attended Cultural Hotspot programs, exploring local art organizations, libraries, and community projects.

Interactions with Artists

Many of the artists in attendance at this year's event are fluent in English, and often several other languages. Others may only speak in their mother tongue. Please be patient with artists with limited English and feel free to ask Festival staff if a translator is available. There are many different dialects and languages spoken across Northern Canada, but we will do our best to help make conversations with all artists possible.
