AUGUST 13, 14 & 15, 2021
DAWSON CITY, YUKON
The Klondike Institute of Art & Culture (KIAC) will celebrate the 21st Annual Yukon Riverside Arts Festival on the weekend of August 13 – 15, 2021 in Dawson City, Yukon.
Due to COVID-19, the festival format will again take a fresh, innovative, de-centralized approach – encouraging audiences to view artwork while leisurely roaming through town instead of gathering at main festival sites. Film screenings, performances, and installations will be exhibited and presented in a variety of interesting spaces throughout the weekend.
Last year, we missed having the flurry of activity of the Demonstration Tent and the crowds of the Gallery Hop last year, but we were extremely pleased by the caliber and quality of work created for the festival, available for viewing in this online exhibition!
