As our Sovereign’s representative in Saskatchewan, it is my pleasure to extend greetings on behalf of His Majesty King Charles III, King of Canada, to everyone participating in the 2025 Art Now Fine Art Fair in Regina. 

Congratulations to the Saskatchewan Professional Art Galleries Association on hosting the 10th Edition of Art Now. My thanks to the staff, board of directors and volunteers of SaskGalleries for your initiative and dedication in presenting this significant annual show and sale. 

With all the artist talks, exhibitions, entertainment, and second annual Craft Is... Fine Craft Market in partnership with the Saskatchewan Craft Council, there will be plenty to do and see throughout the weekend. 

We are fortunate that so many talented artists call Saskatchewan home. Thank you to SaskGalleries for showcasing art galleries, artists and artisans from our province. 

To all the artists, gallery owners, exhibitors, organizers, presenters, contributors and guests – I share your love of art. Thank you for supporting the 2025 Art Now Fine Art Fair. Best wishes for a very successful event. 

Welcome art lovers to the 10th edition of the Art Now Fine Art Fair! 

This amazing event showcases some our province’s premier modern and contemporary fine art. 

Once again, the event features two shows, with the Craft Is – Fine Craft Show and Sale that is held in partnership with the Saskatchewan Craft Council. 

Saskatchewan has a strong arts industry. Art Now and Craft Is… offers entrepreneurs a forum to showcase their creative efforts to buyers near and far, contributing to our economy and our vibrant quality of life. 

This diverse exhibition also highlights the incredible creativity and talent we have throughout our province. 

Thank you to SaskGalleries and the Saskatchewan Craft Council, with support from Creative Saskatchewan, for strengthening the visual arts and craft sector in Saskatchewan and for putting together this wonderful event. 

I hope you find what you’re looking for, or something totally unexpected finds a special place in your heart and your home. 

On behalf of Creative Saskatchewan, we’re proud to celebrate the 10th edition of Art Now, Saskatchewan’s only fine art fair — a remarkable milestone for an event that continues to elevate the province’s vibrant arts scene. 

We’re especially excited about the expanded partnership with the Saskatchewan Craft Council, bringing Craft Is… into the fold and making this year’s fair a double-splash of creativity, commerce, and community.

As the economic development agency for Saskatchewan’s creative industries, Creative Saskatchewan is committed to supporting the growth and global reach of our province’s creative entrepreneurs. We’re proud to provide operational and programming support to both SaskGalleries and the Saskatchewan Craft Council — organizations that continue to deliver engaging and commercially successful events that showcase the skill, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit of Saskatchewan’s creative sector.

Here’s to a decade of Art Now, and to the artists, galleries, and partners who make it all possible.

On behalf of my City Council colleagues and the City of Regina, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 10th edition of the Art Now Saskatchewan Fine Art Fair - a celebration of the incredible talent and creative spirit of artists from across our province. 

Regina is proud to support Art Now’s initiative, which brings together local, national, and international artists and galleries, providing them with a professional platform to share their work, gain exposure and connect with new audiences. These artists not only enrich our lives through their creativity but also sustain the cultural fabric of our communities. Their work sparks dialogue, inspires innovation, and fosters a deeper understanding of the world around us. 

As Mayor of Regina, I am proud to support this event, as I truly believe the arts community contributes in countless ways to the vibrancy, identity, and growth of our city and province. Each of the artists showcased today is incredibly deserving of this recognition. This exhibit is a special moment - a celebration of the countless hours, emotion, and imagination poured into every piece. What you see here is just a glimpse of their dedication and passion. 

On behalf of the City of Regina, I commend Sask Galleries, Saskatchewan Craft Council, all the participating artists, organizers, volunteers, and everyone who has worked tirelessly to bring this event to life. Your commitment to preserving and promoting fine arts culture does not go unnoticed, and it plays a vital role in ensuring the arts continue to thrive in Saskatchewan. 

Wishing you all a memorable exhibit and continued success in the fine art space. 

Welcome to the 10th edition of Art Now Fine Art Fair. 

Today we find ourselves in a world surrounded by change. This constant transformation is everywhere, reshaping communities, reshaping how we live and how we create. 

Art carries its own energy; it lives beyond the canvas and the sculpture. Each person who encounters it brings their own memories, emotions and perspective, so the artwork changes from person to person and changes from moment to moment. Art Now is showcasing a collection of new creative energy from over 300 artists and artisans, presented in one amazing space. So please, slow down, remove yourself from the constant distraction of the outside world, and take this opportunity to explore the selection of art that has been curated just for you. 

In addition to our galleries’ exhibits, we are featuring a special installation, Breathturn, by Monique Martin; 24,000 silkscreened life-size, hand-cut, paper butterflies. This installation invites you to pause and reflect on transformation and the beauty in small things. 

SaskGalleries would like to thank our participating artists and artisans, Creative Saskatchewan and our many generous sponsors, partners and volunteers. Creative Saskatchewan’s ongoing support provides us this unique opportunity to celebrate the visual arts created in our province through this annual event. 

Boozhoo/Tansi! 

Welcome to the 10th Edition of the Art Now! 

I am honored to be acting in an Advisory role with SaskGalleries as their Indigenous Advisor. I am what has become to known as a Traditional Knowledge Keeper. My role is to advise SaskGalleries on matters pertaining to operational matters, Indigenous equity and inclusion, professional development, celebration of Indigenous culture within operational activity and the Art Now, Fine Art Fair and other related matters. 

One beautiful aspect about Art is that Art is universal, and Art is for everyone; no single culture in the world can claim Art as belonging to them and them only! As people across our country, we can all appreciate that Art can help us understand, enlighten, educate and inspire! 

Congratulations to all of the artists whose works we showcased and Happy 10th Birthday to Art Now, Saskatchewan Fine Art Fair! 

Meegwetch, Nanaskamon, thank you.
