Art is… NEVER OVER

The festival may have wrapped up with a huge bang, but we are never done creating beautiful things!

We couldn’t have created THIS beautiful thing, CVAF 2025, without the outstanding and incredible help of our army of volunteers, 60% of whom were brand new to the festival this year. It is truly you that make this whole crazy thing work and we couldn’t have done it without your support. Thanks also to our partners in art, all the wonderful vendors, buskers, speakers, comedians, podcasters, artists, and every super-talented musician. The fact that we can throw this celebration of art in all its many facets is a testament to the strong community of creators that we have in this city and it is YOU that makes this city worth living in.

Thank you also to all our sponsors, without whom we could not continue to keep this festival free. If art is anything, art is accessible and we strongly believe in continuing to keep it that way. We want everyone, no matter their background or income, to be able to make art, see art, experience art, and appreciate art! From ice cream eating contests and volunteer t-shirts, to French music and dancing under the stars at the Big Top Tent, we appreciate your support in our community.

Last, but not least, thank you to everyone in Regina and beyond for making this a festival that is talked about all across Canada. We are coming up on our 35th birthday next year, which means that there are kids who went to the first festival who can now take their children and friends to the current festivals. We have created a generation of art and what a miracle it is that we can continue to create this together. Truly, from the bottom of our hearts, we say that Art is EVERYTHING!
