Share Your Masterpiece: Enter the Saskatchewan Art Showcase

We are thrilled to invite you to be part of the tradition! This year, we want to do more than just hang your artwork on the wall—we want to share your story. We are excited to introduce artist biographies and descriptors alongside your entries so that fairgoers can truly connect with you and the inspiration behind your work.

The People’s Choice Awards

Let the crowds decide! This year, we are hosting the People’s Choice public nominations across three major categories: Creative Art, Fine Art, and Photographic Art. Guests will vote for their favorites throughout the week, and the winners will be announced on Saturday evening. The top artist in each category will take home a $250 prize!
