About Culture Days in Saskatchewan

Culture Days runs from September 28 – September 30, 2012.  Community leaders are encouraged to consider how Culture Days could be celebrated in their communities…. Can it help enhance an existing event? Help build new partnerships or develop new audiences? Help showcase cultural assets to the rest of the province, as well as the rest of the country? Help build community pride?  Culture Days is an opportunity for cultural organizations and communities to highlight their unique culture to others in their own communities and throughout Canada. 

  This year’s Culture Days weekend will take place on September 28, 29 & 30. Once again, the event will feature free, hands-on, interactive activities that invite the public to participate “behind the scenes”—and to discover the world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators, and designers at work in their community.

As a grassroots, collaborative movement, Culture Days relies on your participation. Whether as an arts or cultural organization, an artist, a municipality, a school, a citizen, a business person…everyone can play a role in shaping this event. So get involved!
