VIVID Art Fest

The VIVID Art Festival features the creation of large-scale public art combined with musical performances and professionally-led community programming that celebrates this powerful location as a meeting ground, and looks to the future.

VIVID has brought explosions of colour and artworks from world-renowned artists all the way to Northern Ontario. This year's festival features the Strange Exhibits Art Walking Tours, Cultural Performances and Market at the Sault Downtown Plaza, Artist-led Workshops, and opportunities to engage with the local arts and culture community through partnered programming.
