WEGO returns on Sunday, August 24 from 10 AM-4 PM, followed by low-sensory WEGO on August 25 1-6 PM. This free festival of art, music, dance and more engages people of all ages through a fun and varied program both inside and outside the museum. WEGO takes place rain or shine.
This year’s program features an exciting lineup of artists and activities for all ages, including:
okimaw ᐅᑭᒪᐤ – okimawᐅᑭᒪᐤ (pronounced oh-gih-mao) is the roots-rock music project created by nêhiyaw/Plains Cree actor, singer, songwriter, and producer, Aren Okemaysim. He is from the Beardy’s & Okemasis Cree Nation in Treaty
6 territory.
Mr. Eric (Eric Paetkau) – Folk singer-songwriter Eric Paetkau writes music that feels familiar in the best way—melodic, honest, and meant to be heard. With a warm voice and an easygoing stage presence, he brings together folk traditions and contemporary songwriting, creating music that’s both personal and relatable.
Jay and Danica – Jay Semko, a member of The Northern Pikes and an award-winning composer for film and TV, is one of Canada’s most respected singer-songwriters. Danica Lorer is a nationally recognized storyteller, singer-songwriter, and host of Saskatoon’s ‘Lit Happens’, known for her vibrant performances and original works. Together, Jay and Danica blend decades of musical and storytelling experience into a heartfelt, harmony-rich performance.
Ludoland – Giant wooden games are the very first products I have been making when I started Ludoland. Back when I was a child, in France, you would find games like this in every village or school fairs, in every events! They are fun and challenging, they gather people, and the rules and very simple and easy to understand!
Nikki Sirett Chalk Drawing – Nikki Sirett is a visual artist with a varied practice who has been living in Saskatchewan for the past three years. Originally from Vancouver, she graduated with a BFA in Visual Arts from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2015.
Many more artists and activities will be announced soon! Stay tuned for the full schedule and additional program details.
