NexGen MultiArts Festival
The NexGen MultiArts Festival, trending to be a multi-faith festival as well, was initiated in 2018 in the name of ‘Indian Summer’. The objective of the festival is to highlight the presence and work of emerging Canadian authors, poets, visual artists, musicians and dancers. While the overall focus is on emerging artists with 60 to 70% being in a younger age group, the festival also presents more established artists from time to time in order to nurture a beneficial interaction between different generations of artists. The festival usually consists of:
a) a literary evening, termed ‘Garden of Literary Delights’ (GOLD)
b) a poetry evening
c) a visual arts exhibition
d) a day of classical music
e) a day of classical dances
