NBYXE is introducing an early bedtime program this year! 🌝

From 5pm - 10pm a selection of projects hosted at Remai Modern and Alt Hotel will be starting early so that those with young families and early risers don’t miss out on the fun!

This years early program features: 

Global Biotech Week’s ‘Diversity Under Our Feet’ @ Remai Modern 

Guests go through a portal on their way into the space where they are 'shrunk' down to microbe size. They enter a 'microbe disco', where they can choose to be a microbe 'character'. 

Saskatoon Glassworkers Guild’s ‘Silver Linings’ @ Alt Hotel Cyan Room

SILVER LININGS invites you to interact with a beautiful visual interpretation of the future through a kaleidoscope and to choose a fused glass bauble. 

As well as our 2026 featured screening projects (available 5pm - midnight) Hotel!

Stick around until 7pm to check out all the amazing projects around Riverlanding! ✨️

Theme: Future

In 2026, Nuit Blanche Saskatoon invites artists to imagine and create from the perspective of the future. We welcome visual art, performance, interactive installations, community engagement, sound, and film that explore what lies ahead through your unique lens.

Consider how today’s choices shape tomorrow. Speak from the future: What would you change now to build a brighter world?

We encourage bold, diverse visions—including traditional sci‑fi—embracing Asian Futurism, Afro‑Futurism, Indigenous Futurism, LGBTQ2S+ Futures, and more. Engage with themes such as environment, agriculture, culture, economy, engineering, and artificial intelligence.


Strong applications should encourage public interaction, engage viewers, transform public spaces, be fun, and/or share unique perspectives. Projects should incorporate light, sound, and spectacle as this is a night-time event.

Learn more about this year's call, submission guidelines, and review our application form by visiting NBYXE.ca.
