APPLICATIONS FOR YRAF 2024 OPEN NOW!

There are so many ways you can participate in the Yukon Riverside Arts Festival!
Be it as an artist or performer, a vendor, a workshop facilitator or a volunteer, there are activities to fit a wide range of interests and skills.

At YRAF, we aim to provide professional opportunities for artistic creation and presentation, as well as educational and commercial opportunities.

In addition, our volunteering opportunities are excellent ways to not only meet new people and give back to the community, but also learn and practice skills related to event organization and logistics, customer service and various other activities.

APPLY TO THE GALLERY HOP*

Exhibit your work, create an installation, host a performance or event at our town-wide art crawl!
The signature kick-off event of our festival is a fantastic evening of pop-up galleries and interactive experiences across Dawson City, where local artists are invited to participate.
