We welcome applications from emerging and professional artists working in all mediums. 

  • Artists are invited to submit pre-existing, in-process and new projects for consideration. We invite all artists with an open theme to apply. Strong applications should encourage public interaction, engage viewers, transform public spaces, be fun, and/or share unique perspectives. 

  • Projects should incorporate light, sound, and spectacle as this is a night-time event.

  • We encourage proposals that reflect NBYXE’s core values as an independent, non-commercial arts, culture and community-based, family-friendly event. NBYXE is a non-profit run by a board of volunteers and a curator.

  • We are committed to practices that promote dialogue in culturally diverse communities. Nuit Blanche Saskatoon recognizes the importance of equity and diversity. If you feel comfortable, please self-declare on the application form if you identify as part of an underrepresented equity group, such as people with disabilities, BIPOC, or 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.

What is Nuit Blanche YXE?

Nuit Blanche is a global art movement that arrived in Saskatoon in 2014, and the festival has been held in the city annually since.

Overtaking multiple venues and city streets throughout Saskatoon's core neighbourhoods, the festival features projections, sculptures, installations, performances, music, theatre, visual arts, poetry, and other forms of contemporary art.
