SaskGalleries is proud to welcome exhibitors and visitors to Regina for the 2025 Art Now Fine Art Fair. This event provides commercial galleries and the artists they represent with opportunities to gain exposure and new clients at a highly professional venue.
 
The celebratory 2025 show features an opening night reception, Friday Art Night Out, programming throughout the weekend, a show guide featuring galleries, a ten-day online show, and much more. Art Now booths are open to all commercial galleries committed to showcasing the work of established and emerging artists and artisans from across Canada.
 
And, for the first time in Regina, visitors will experience two shows in one location. SaskGalleries has partnered with the Saskatchewan Craft Council to expand your fine art experience in Saskatchewan. The Art Now Fine Art Fair and the 2nd Annual Craft Is... Fine Craft Show + Sale will be presented alongside each other in Halls A and B, Viterra International Trade Centre, REAL District, in Regina. Together the shows will draw in new and existing art lovers and collectors who are looking for what Saskatchewan’s fine art industry has to offer.  

Art Now is open to all commercial galleries committed to showcasing the work of established and emerging artists and artisans from across Canada.

Booth Description

Please provide a statement describing your booth or exhibition programme to be presented at the 2025 Art Now Fine Art Fair.

This section should describe how your booth will meet the exhibitor requirements/jury criteria (listed in Exhibitor Guidelines and Requirements), including a list of artists to be presented, new, never-before-shown works (i.e. are you approaching artists for new works), relevant artistic intention from presenting artists, overall quality of works to be presented, and overall focus in stated programme.

Full members, galleries that have exhibited in a previous Art Now, and Online Only applications only need to list the artists they will be presenting at the show:

stART: An Emerging Artist Section at Art Now

Art Now is excited to offer exhibiting galleries an opportunity for a space outside of their booth to showcase and exhibit one of their exceptional emerging* artists in a stART ‘mini booth’. 
 
The stART booth will be separate from the exhibitors’ main booth and the works exhibited will be for sale through the presenting gallery. The booths will have approximately 2’x4’ of wall space with some floor space; exact sizes will be determined based on the availability of walls.

There is no additional cost for the stART booth. All artworks displayed in stART will need to meet regular booth guidelines and requirements.

stART booths are not available for Online Only applications. 
 
*Emerging artists are those in the early stages of their career with limited publication and exhibition history and self-identify as an emerging artist.

The Art Now Fine Art Fair invites exhibitors to participate in our event programming in a number of ways. Exhibitors may wish to:

• Donate a door prize for the opening night reception (e.g., gift certificate to your booth and/or gallery, an artwork)
• Host up to two artist talks in booth or on main stage that will be included in the main program. Note: Artist Talk agreements, including artist fees, are between the gallery and artist. SaskGalleries is not responsible for these arrangements. Artist Talks are not available for Online Only applications. 
• Host a gallery artist demonstration in main stage area during Friday Art Night Out. Note: Demonstration agreements, including artist fees, are between the gallery and artist. SaskGalleries is not responsible for these arrangements. Demonstrations are not available for Online Only applications. 
• Participate in the online show (virtual booth with up to 30 works for sale posted online from October 3 until 13).

Please let us know your gallery's interest in participating in the following event programming:

ONLINE SHOW:

Gallerists will not be required to be online (i.e. Livechat), but will be responsible to respond to client inquiries and report sold works to SaskGalleries as per the Exhibitor Guidelines and Requirements.
